Austin Pets Alive! aims to clear the shelter

Austin Pets Alive! is hosting a slew of events and offering adoption specials over the next week as part of the Clear the Shelter initiative. Visit the link to see a full schedule of events taking place at locations across the city. Those who bond with a furry friend can “pay what you can” for adoption fees through Sept. 19. Clear the Shelters is a partnership with NBC Universal Local, which is partnering with hundreds of shelters nationwide to find animals forever homes. The program has rehomed more than 550,000 pets since 2015. The Austin Animal Center is also participating.
