4,400 pounds of food
given to pet owners
Austin Pets Alive has announced the organization distributed over 4,400 pounds of pet food to 160 groups of Austinites in need on Sept. 19.
Austin pet owners who had been impacted by COVID-19 were invited to come to Austin High School and pick up a free bag of cat and/or dog food, via donations from Merrick Pet Care, for the rescue’s first-ever drive-thru pet food bank. The 160 cars served often had multiple pet owners, who owned more than one cat or dog.
The event was held in lieu of the organization’s annual fundraising event, the No Kill Anniversary Party, which celebrates the city of Austin becoming no kill in 2011.
