Staffordshire Bull Terrier

I am a volunteer at the shelter and also a volunteer team leader for MCAS marketing. I have helped in many ways: foster, adopter, coordinator for off-site adoptions, assist with rescues, dog walker, computer input, lost dog walk-thru, help to adopt to families. I do it because I don't think we should be killing adoptable animals and I know I can make a difference.

We are Animal Services for the Austin/Travis County Health & Human Services Department. We are an open-intake shelter that takes in over 21,000 animals each year. We provide Animal Protection, Care & Control for Austin/Travis County. We also provide an array of pet homelessness prevention programs.

We are a group of VOLUNTEER fosters that saw the need for helping larger, mixed breed dogs. We try to keep dogs from entering shelters . When possible we also save dogs from the urgent lists of "kill" shelters in the Mid South. We are a VERY SMALL group trying to save one dog at a time.
