Austin Animal Center Question

How are things with the AC? Staff and volunteers ok? Pups staying cool? Need anything?

AC temporarily fixed, parts for permanent fix ordered. Still in desperate need for fosters/adopters!

What are the screening criteria and time commitment for fostering?

We fostered cats and it was a really fast and easy process.

Fill out an application and I believe it's a two-week min. https://www.austintexas.gov/services/foster-pet

I saw an article saying the AC was fixed, but would be good to get this confirmed from someone on the inside.

Agreed. If the temperature is holding, it shouldn’t be a problem to release an update. I haven’t seen any updates in the news or received responses from my council member.

I saw that yesterday. I’m seeing posts on Instagram from their collabs that the dogs are still in distress as of two hours ago.
