    Love-A-Bull is amazing! The staff is made of volunteers, everyone we talked to was friendly and helpful. We had some specific qualities we were looking for in a pet and when I contacted Love-A-Bull about a cutie I saw online they answered right away. After the first contact called, they had a trainer call, who asked me a bunch of questions, and they steered me towards the pup they thought would be the right fit. They get to know all of their animals and really make sure they find the right fit. We love our Diamond and are so glad she chose us as her family!

    Love-A-Bull was the first organization I reached out to when me and my husband were finally ready to adopt a dog. Not only did they advocate for the bully bread, but they were CAREFUL about who they adopted to, and did meet and greets first. I went on the website and saw a cute perfect looking pittie by the name of Franklin. He was gorgeous. Mostly blue & black with some white around the nose and a few other places. I contacted LAB, via their online application and they reached back out to me. I expressed my interest in Franklin and a meet n greet was set up for the following weekend. I was soooo excited. My husband and I spent an entire hour cleaning just to meet a dog! But alas, the doorbell rang and we opened the door..... First I saw Lindsay, she was all smiles as usual ( I didn't know Lindsay at the time, but this is her usual face) and after her came Franklin and his foster mom. In they marched. I was sooo excited I could barely contain myself. I reached out to Franklin without thinking...and he kind of, well shrank back, and my husband, went all in- going 100% "I love this dog and I want him to know" ........ little did we know that precious Franklin did not necessarily like males.....My poor hubby, the entire meet and greet all he wanted was to pet and love on Franklin, but was not allowed to, or he would be met with a "warning" nip from Franklin. My heart went out to him. I was able to love and pet Franklin, while my husband had to sit by and watch the love fest from afar. After this particular meeting, my husband was done. I could tell he was hurt, and he said that he was no longer interested in pits and that we could look at "less aggressive" breeds on Monday. I was CRUSHED. I adored pits and knew that he did too. I knew he was just hurt by the way things had gone and told him, "If the next dog we meet is not for us, we'll take a break and continue looking at a later date". He agreed. I should say that I had already been looking for another pittie on the LAB website, and had seen a particularly adorable looking pittie by the name of Grace. When Lindsay could see that Franklin was not the dog for us she ASSURED us that she knew just the dog, a loving, cuddle bug by the name of GRACE!!!! I knew she was right, and convinced her and my husband to meet the following day (Sunday) for a meet and greet with Grace. We drove out the next morning 45 minutes south from our place to meet Lindsay, Grace and her foster parents. When we arrived, we could see Lindsay, and a wide looking stout cinder block with little legs in front of her. We approached her and Lindsay says, "meet Grace!!" I was IN LOVE, she was soooo sweet and loving, I MELTED the first time I saw our little slightly over weight but still adorable pitter. We took her home for the weekend, and while I knew from day 1 that this dog was ours for good, it took my husband a day or two to warm up. You'd never know it now. He loves on her and spoils her so much, it's ridiculous. He often thanks me for making me go to that second meet and greet to meet Grace. I simply say, "you're welcome", but really all the thanks goes to LAB and Lindsay for all the work and advocating you do, with out you, we wouldn't have our baby. Thank You, a million times, thank you!!

    Love-A-Bull is just amazing! They offered to pay my pet deposit for a second dog if I could foster a Pit Bull through Happy Endings!?! I feel so very humbled by the generosity of this organization that is so committed to help saving the Pit Bulls and advocating on their behalf! I just made a generous donation to thank them and you can too at www.Love-A-Bull.org

    I recently attended one of the free spay and neuter clinics hosted by Austin Animal Free Spay and…read moreNeuter Clinic and greater good charities for my puppy, and overall, I had a great experience with just a few things to keep in mind if you're planning to attend. The clinic was scheduled from 7:30 AM to 10:00 AM. I arrived around 8:30, and as expected for a free event, the lines were long--but honestly, that's understandable when such valuable services are offered at no cost. One of the great things was that there was no limit to the number of animals you could bring. Once I got there, I was greeted by friendly staff who gave me paperwork to complete. A staff member kindly informed me that the process could take a while, which I appreciated. I ended up waiting in line for about four hours. If I had known ahead of time, I definitely would have brought snacks and water to help pass the time--but I was fine overall. Before they took my puppy back, they thoroughly explained the procedure and all the services included: the spay/neuter surgery, vaccines, microchipping, and preventative medications. Talk about saving money! They promised to take great care of him, and I felt reassured as they carried him back. Around 4:30 PM, I received a call to pick him up. He looked good at first, but as I drove down the highway, I noticed some bleeding. I turned around and rushed back to the clinic. The staff explained that male dogs can be a little more sensitive due to the number of blood vessels involved, and it wasn't unusual. They immediately took him back, cleaned him up, and made sure he was okay. One of the amazing volunteers even helped me clean the blood off my car and blankets--who knew peroxide worked so well? Once home, I noticed his microchip had started to migrate out. I texted the number they provided, and they told me to bring him back in for a check-up. I did just that two days later, and he was given a clean bill of health. They were quick, responsive, and made sure everything was taken care of. They also mentioned that they host these events frequently. If you're considering getting your pets spayed or neutered, I absolutely recommend bringing them here. The wait can be long, but the care and services are worth it. They treat your fur babies with love and compassion, and you leave knowing your pet got the attention they needed. Thank you to the entire team for your patience, hard work, and dedication. Look out for more free spay and neuter clinics it will save you tons

My baby had worms that they just "didn't notice" from March... it's MAY and they REFUSE to give him $20 dewormer. They're stingy and horrible people that don't care for the health of their animals. I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS SHELTER FOR ADOPTING, THEY WILL NOT HELP YOU CURE THINGS THEY GOT IN THE SHELTER. THEIR 311 NUMBER KNOWS NOTHING. IDIOTS. Thank god I rescued my angel from that horrible place. 1/10. Only not 0 because I found my angel there.

We had been following GRR on Instagram for years at this point and had always planned to eventually adopt with them we just didn't know how soon that opportunity would arise. GRR was thorough and thoughtful through every step of this experience. Every single person we encountered in this organization is a true Golden lover in every sense of the word. Our situation was handled with care and compassion as they worked with us at every step of the extensive but necessary process to find the right Golden baby for our home. Every aspect of our lives and our other pets lives was taken into careful consideration. Murphy came to live with us at the beginning of June and it's just as though he was always part of our family.

It is a volunteer organization and every person we spoke and met with were extremely kind, supportive and knowledgeable.

I love that GRR truly looks out for the best interest of every dog they rescue and goes to great lengths to place each and every dog with the right forever family.

I was lured in by the coffee aspect of the visit because I am allergic to cats. I can go about a couple of hours before my throat closes in and my eyes turn bloodshot red from an allergic reaction. Please note that they have drip coffee only. Their mission.."Purrfecto partners with Texas rescues to give adoptable cats an opportunity to find new homes. Just like humans, all cats have different purrsonalities, but they all need love. We have created the perfect environment for them to relax and meow around while they wait to discover their perfect match. We are hoping to reduce euthanasia in animal shelters and increase adoptions. We want to provide homeless cats with 9 lives full of love." Cool concept...you pay $15 for 30 minutes or $30 for 70 minutes to play with a cat in the lounge to determine whether you want to adopt a cat. The space is bright, welcoming and open. It is like a group cat love fest. The lounge has been in business for about 4 years and have had about 1,900 adoptions. My friend did not adopt a cat but she will return. You must make an appointment to visit with the cats.

APA!'s mission is to promote and provide the resources, education, and programs needed to eliminate the killing of companion animals. Their vision is that every shelter animal, in Central Texas and beyond, gets a true chance at the life they deserve. Austin Pets Alive! is not an average animal shelter. They pioneer comprehensive, innovative programs designed to save the animals most at risk for euthanasia. They have a 95% animal save rate...the highest in the country. I volunteer as a dog walker every day. The dogs are well cared for, and they ensure that each dog gets walked 3 times a day. In addition, they participate in play year activities to make sure they get proper exercise and socialization. The kennels are always kept clean and hosed down after pet accidents. They have matchmaker services to make sure an adopted pet is compatible with their new owners. And they offer a lifetime of behavioral support, by dog behavior experts, for adopted dogs. Austin Pets Alive values their volunteers and hold appreciation meetings twice a year. The most recent one as at AGBG, with free pizza for everyone. They were voted best nonprofit for several years.
