Austin Animal Services February Data Reports
2a. Answers to February data report questions — original pdf
Answers to questions about ASO February data report submitted by Lotta Smagula, District 1 Representative, Animal Advisory Commission ● On the Animals Euthanized slide, what is the difference between euthanasia for suffering and euthanasia medical? Medical is normally used as a subtype. The primary reasoning is usually suffering and then a subtype is providing for a reason such as sick, medical, toxicity, etc. For the animal that was labeled as a medical reason, it was a sick raccoon found in the field. The APO on duty euthanized the animal and labeled it as medical. ● On the Animals Lost, Stolen or Missing slide, which is it? Lost, stolen, or missing, and was it from the shelter or foster? Missing, lost, or stolen are the primary outcomes, and kennel or foster would be the subtype. We looked into it and saw that lost and stolen are not an option in the primary outcome list. We are having IT add them. When looking at the lost animal from February, we see that it was never impounded but listed as a lost dog in the lost report online. That is a new glitch that we will need to work with IT to address. ● On the SNR Program slide, what is the difference between cat and adult cat? Everything is counted as a cat. In the ordinance, we needed to break it down by kitten and adult cats. The adult cat designation is to show anything older than six months that went to SNR. ● On the Intact Animals Adopted/Returned to Owner slide, what is the reason for the 8 animals that were adopted out intact? Was it medical, did they not weigh enough? Have follow up spay/neuter appointments been set up with AAC for those animals? There were six animals that were adopted intact. We had three kittens and a puppy that were too young for surgery. One was a 14-year-old Chihuahua with medical issues, and the other is a 14- year-old pit with medical issues.

Intakes transferred from AAC: 164 animals were transferred out of AAC to 24 partners. 53 of them were transferred to APA!. Another 6 were born in care that would otherwise not have been born.

2c Austin Pets Alive! Q4 Report — original pdf
Animal Advisory Commission Report Q4 2021 This report is intended to give a high level overview of Austin Pets Alive!’s lifesaving operations, with a focus on APA!’s impact on Travis county through our partnership with Austin Animal Center. Summary: Austin Pets Alive! (APA) continues to be the city of Austin’s largest partner in lifesaving and the largest subsidizer of the city’s budget to serve Austin animals. APA takes animals that have medical and behavioral issues that require a higher cost per animal than the average healthy animal in care. APA focuses on these animals in an effort to have a measurable effect on the live release rate at AAC. In 2021, of all animals transferred from Austin Animal Center to their partners, APA! Took in 1,686 pets directly, and an additional 291 that were born in care to transferred pregnant pets. The direct transfers were 61% of AAC’s total transfers. APA’s cost to care for the animals pulled in 2021 is approximately $1.5MM to $1.9MM. APA receives no funding from the City of Austin but does receive use of the TLAC property, which if on the rental market could reasonably expect to receive $8 per square foot, per year in rent for the use, condition and location that it is in (ie $100,000 per quarter). APA! Therefore, contributed between $1.1MM and $1.5MM to subsidize the city’s budget to service Austin animals. APA’s mission is to eliminate the unnecessary killing of shelter animals. Over the last 10 years of the license agreement, the role of APA’s support at AAC has shifted away from lifesaving and into serving as “overflow” for AAC, serving many animals that should not be at risk of euthanasia in the city’s publicly-funded shelter. The Austin Animal Center has received an increase in budget of more than 10 million dollars since 2010 and many supports have been put in place over the years by Austin City Council. APA is 100% committed to continuing to serve as a safety net for animals that cannot be saved through tax payer dollars and is currently negotiating a license agreement that more accurately reflects the mission of APA and the responsible utilization of all funds put towards animals, whether they are donated or tax funded. Last year, 1,814/1,977 animals were considered “at risk” or “at high risk” of euthanasia. 122 dogs and 41 cats were pulled for “space” or as “non at …
