Color a menagerie of animals for a cause
Wednesday, June 29, 2016 by Kayleigh Hughes
Today in news of the adorable, the Austin Animal Center is celebrating five years of Austin being the largest no-kill city in the country by releasing a coloring book filled with pictures and stories of some of the unique animals the center has saved, including a paralyzed cat and his wheelchair, a baby owl, a three-legged dog and a rooster that was rescued from a cockfighting ring. All proceeds from the sales of the $12 coloring books will go to the Austin Animal Center. The books are being sold online, on the AAC’s website, on Amazon as well as around town at BookPeople on Lamar Boulevard and Toy Joy on W. Second Street.
