Friends of Austin Animal Center

In just one week, the biggest day of the year to give back will be here - #GivingTuesday. Last year, our generous community ensured Friends of Austin Animal Center could provide: - Life-changing, specialty surgery for cats like Bartholomew (see recent post) - Compassionate behavior and training assistance; Shelter improvements to add a shade structure to exterior dog kennels - And so much more! None of this is possible without donors like you. ?? Mark your calendars for #GivingTuesday on December 3, 2024! ??? Or, go ahead and make your #GivingTuesday gift now! ?? https://lnkd.in/gD8wW2dH #givingtuesday #localsupport #nonprofit #animalwelfare #donate #support #thankful

It is almost Thanksgiving! I am feeling so thankful for family, friends, our own rescue pups and the success of my new company, RuffnerRose LLC! I love connecting people and matching great candidates with great firms and companies! That said, I also do some matchmaking at Friends of Austin Animal Center! This weekend the ICU Volunteer team is getting all dolled up for the Rags to Wags Austin Humane Society Gala in Austin. In honor of this fundraiser and the upcoming holiday, every day this week I am going to spotlight a dog that is available for adoption at Austin Animal Center that came through our ICU. First up, Cody! Cody is a 7-month old Shepherd mix that loves other dogs, belly rubs and lots of snuggles! He came through ICU with a skin issue where he lost a lot of his fur. Once that was resolved, this little guy was paired in a kennel with several different dogs and enjoyed shared kennel, playgroup and being loved on! Unfortunately, he contracted a respiratory condition that required he quarantine for 2 whole weeks. Poor buddy! Now is is healthy and very happy in playgroup and paired with a new roomie! Cody and Weebles are in Kennel 113 and his ID# is A913559. Please come meet Cody (that underbite!) and feel free to reach out to me with any questions. Let's get him a furrever home for the holidays!

The Medical Assistance Program at Friends of AAC helps animals with needs beyond the city vet services that are barriers to adoption. ????Luckily this allowed us to help Bartholomew! ? Bartholomew had a persistent problem being able to urinate normally due to a partial blockage to his urethra. Despite being a wonderful, young guy with a joyful personality, his urination issue would have been a serious barrier to him ever finding an adoptive home.? Friends of AAC stepped in to pay for perineal urethrostomy surgery which corrected his issue. ?? The day he came home from the hospital he was able to pee normally! He’s recovering nicely from surgery in his foster home and will soon be ready to find his forever home! ????We’re very glad to be able to assist cases like this to help animals like Bartholomew overcome medical hardships. ??Learn more about MAP or donate to support animals through MAP at https://lnkd.in/gVjXEHxA??Bartholomew (A868934) will be available for adoption through the Austin Animal Center once he’s recovered. ?? ??#medicalassistanceprogram #FriendsOfAAC #nonprofit #story #success #rescue #cat #shelter #animals #austin #texas #austintexas

6 secured, fostered & rehomed pets in less than 8 months. Social media did it again ?? Norma and her brother Lazlo (4 week old kittens) are our most recent success story. They were rather ill when we first got them. Thanks to my husband for co-parenting, Friends of Austin Animal Center for the experience while volunteering, and of course our network who shared our cries for help.

What an amazing night at our Urban Axes fundraiser! We are beyond grateful for the support from our incredible raffle donors and food & drink sponsors who made this event so special and successful. It’s inspiring to see local Austin businesses come together to help homeless pets in our community. ???? Thanks to the generosity of these local favorites, we raised critical funds to support Friends of AAC, which provides medical, behavioral, and other vital resources to the Austin Animal Center and community members. To all who donated and attended—your support means the world to us and the animals!
