If Matilda ever made you smile or touched your heart, please honor her with a contribution to Austin Pets Alive! 

 Their mission: 
To promote and provide the resources, education and programs needed to eliminate the killing of companion animals.

COVID-19. The unprecedented force that shook the world.

From the largest companies to just one person, everyone has been affected by the coronavirus. Whether that's through job losses, fear of the virus, or mental health, everyone is struggling. Along those lines, Austin Pets Alive has had its own fair share of troubles. With a huge decrease in volunteers, APA is doing their best to fill all those important roles in-house, but even so, the amount of work these amazing people have taken upon themselves is enormous. APA has saved so many lives, having brought Austin's animal save-rate from 13% to 97% and is an organization that helps make Austin the special place that it is.

I hope that you can find it in your heart to help this amazing organization keep helping so many animals around them, and in the process, inspiring others to follow in their footsteps to help their communities.

Any donation is greatly appreciated and if you want to find out more about Austin Pets Alive and what you can do to help head to their website: https://www.austinpetsalive.org/about/our-story

My name is Caroline Schram and I am a veterinarian living in San Francisco, California. Desperately wanting to help the animals affected by Hurricane Harvey, my technician, Michelle Chung, and I are travelling to Katy, Texas next week. We will be volunteering to help the animal rescue efforts of a group called Austin Pets Alive.  We are planning on bringing many needed veterinary supplies and medications with us - they are running out of items quickly and are unable to keep up with the needs of the animals. Any monetary donations to help cover our costs would be greatly appreciated.

Sabbatical Beauty is partening with Bad Tags to help raise money in order to aid the rescue efforts of Austin Pets Alive. This organization has already saved the lives of 400 animals affected by Hurricane Harvey and helped coordinate rescue efforts to save the animals at the flooded shelter of Tall Tails.

Both Bad Tags and Sabbatical Beauty will MATCH every donation up to $500 dollars. So we raise $500 dollars, BT and SB will each donate $500 bringing the total donation to $1500!

Wait, there's more! For every $5.00 you donate, you will be entered to win a $100 visa gift card PLUS other drool-worthy goodies for both you and your pet from both companies!

All the money raised will be donated to Austin Pets Alive  which is a 501c3 non-profit organization dedicated to helping promote and provide the resources, education and programs needed to eliminate the killing of companion animals. BT and SB are not affiliated with APA and we are not taking any money from this fundraiser. 

Rescue, saving animals, and helping others is a core belief at both BT and SB. With so many asking "how can I help" this is our way to coordinate efforts to help save the fur victims of those affected by Hurricane Harvey.

Thank you SO much for your donation! If you're unable to donate, please consider sharing this fundrasier to social media.

 

As we all know, Texas is currently being hit by Hurricane Harvey, which has become devastating to thousands of both people and animals.

Hundreds of animals are currently misplaced- whether it be because they were lost, or intentionally left behind. 
A particular shelter, Austin Pets Alive!, has taken in many of these animals and is now in need of supplies and donations in order to help take care of these poor babies.


Every dollar counts! Please share to show Texas some NY love!
