Backup

Monthly Report on License Agreement April 2026 This report is in agreement with the terms outlined in Section 8.4 of the License Agreement between the City of Austin and Austin Pets Alive!, with a focus on APA!’s impact on Travis County through our partnership with Austin Animal Services. Austin Pets Alive! (APA!) remains the City of Austin’s largest partner in lifesaving, specializing in animals with medical and behavioral needs beyond the municipal shelter’s capacity. Since 2011, this partnership with Austin Animal Services (AAS) has helped sustain Austin as the largest No Kill city in the United States. APA! Intakes Transferred from AAS: In April 2026, 358 animals were transferred directly from AAS, with 11 of them being behavior pulls (Bam Bam, Monkey, Alejandro, Leelee, Lulu, Prince Erik, Cheyenne, Dex, Jorbee, Meeko, and Finnegan). Additionally, 111 additional animals were diverted from entering AAS through APA!’s PASS program and direct community intake. These combined efforts reduced strain on the City’s municipal shelter while ensuring vulnerable animals received timely intervention.

Transfers from AAS as % of Annual Goal APA! must: (a) Select a sufficient number of animals from the At-Risk List so that at the end of each year of the Term, APA! will have selected from the At-Risk List 12% of the total number of animals taken in by AAS during the preceding year. AAS Dog & Cat Intake Total in FY26: 1,127 Animals APA! Transfer Requirement for FY26: 1,360 Animals As of the end of April 2026, APA! has taken 83% of the total animal number required for the fiscal year. This total puts us ahead of schedule for our annual goal. For APA! to reach its target, it will need to pull just 47 animals each coming month within the fiscal year. Impact of APA!
