Friends of Austin Animal Services aims to improve and enrich the lives of companion animals, with special emphasis on those in the Austin Animal Services system, and to support the people who care for them.

The shelter is full, and while crates are not a long-term home, they are helping keep dogs safe when there is nowhere else for them to go. 🙏

Right now, these dogs need enrichment more than ever- something to chew, lick, sniff, shred, and focus on while they wait for walks, foster homes, adopters, or a proper space to decompress. ⏳

We updated our Amazon wishlist with crate-friendly enrichment items like chews to help make their days a little easier.

Even one item can give a stressed dog something positive to do during a really hard chapter.

Foster- give a dog that matches your needs a beak from the shelter.
Adopt- whether you’re looking for a mellow senior or playful friend for your dog, there is surely a fit.
📍 visit Austin Animal Services, open 7 days a week from 11am-7pm.

Thank you for helping us keep them comfortable, busy, and as loved as possible. ❤️

Meet Bravo 🐶

This young large-breed puppy has a complicated fracture that required surgery under fluoroscopy, using real-time x-ray imaging. It is a highly specialized procedure that can only be done at a clinic with the right equipment. 🏥

Without surgery, amputation was the alternative.

Bravo had his procedure this week, and now this brave little guy is on the other side of it and starting recovery.

He still has a road of recovery ahead, but we are so relieved he got the chance to keep his leg and begin healing. ❤️‍🩹

Friends of AAS supported his surgery, as part of our medical assistance program. The specialized care cost $5,000.

Please donate to help Bravo’s medical costs at friendsfofaas.org/donate. 🔗

Amplify Austin ends in just a few hours! ⏲️

With your help, we can unlock more matching grant dollars to help Austin’s shelter animals and their people - animals like:

🐱 Halloween arrived to the shelter with serious trauma to his head and ear. As a result, he eventually lost his ear and had severe scarring to his ear canal that requires two surgeries to correct. Halloween has had his first surgery and is awaiting his second. Despite it all, Halloween is a happy, energetic kitten! Both surgeries are being covered by Friends because of our amazing donors.

🐶 This little guy was hit by a car, which resulted in a fractured right ilium and left femur. Thanks to you, he underwent two surgeries to fix both legs and is recovering well!

🐰 Fuzzy - who needed dental extractions in order to eat and, thanks to your generosity, was able to receive surgery and remain in their loving home.

Surgeries like this are quite common at Austin Animal Services, but only because of donors like you. Can we count on you to donate to Friends of AAC before Amplify Austin ends tonight?

Let’s Amplify Friends of AAC❕

Thousands of animals are cared for by (AAS, previously Austin Animal Center) each year, including the young tabby kitty pictured above. He arrived to AAS with a fractured femur, likely from being hit by a car. He underwent surgery to remove the socket end of his femur. Even with a fractured long bone, he has proven to be a big love-bug who wants nothing more than to be petted while cuddling in his vet’s lap.

As we take on additional costs like specialty orthopedic surgeries due to city budget cuts, your donations are more important than ever.

With every gift to Friends of AAC through Amplify Austin, we have the opportunity to unlock additional grant dollars to care for even more animals. You can increase your impact to Friends of Austin Animal Center by giving through Amplify Austin today and unlocking additional grant dollars!

Your support drives our mission and every donation is used to directly benefit the animals at Austin Animal Services and the people who care for them.

Get ready to Amplify Friends of AAC! 🔔

Amplify Austin kicks off at 6pm tonight and is a 24-hour sprint of giving, during which we have the opportunity to unlock additional matching donations - making your gift go even further!

Your generosity makes a huge difference in the lives of Austin’s shelter animals - animals like the puppy pictured above who arrived to Austin Animal Services with both a broken tibia and fibula and was unable to sit up without pain - but was able to receive the specialty orthopedic surgery she needed thanks to generous donors.

Whether your donation supports life-saving medical care, positive-reinforcement behavior support, or facility upgrades to improve shelter life, you are having an impact. 🙌

Don’t want to wait until tonight? You can make your gift to Friends of AAC (aka AAS) early!

Happy Giving Tuesday! 🎊🙌🏼 Here is another furry friend feature highlighting our Behavior Assistance Program!

With your support, this year we were able to provide Rizzo and his foster family with compassionate, force-free behavior and training support to build Rizzo’s confidence and allow him to live comfortably with his foster sister, Lasso. Rizzo’s confidence grows every day and his foster family has now become his adoptive family!

Please consider contributing to our Giving Tuesday fundraiser at the link in our bio to help us continue to issue medical assistance vouchers for Austin’s animals and the people who love them. We are so grateful for you! 🐶🐱🐰🤍🩵
