ANIMAL MEDICAL CENTER       

Helping pets in our community

You can join in too.

           Doctors and staff at our hospital have been working with the Animal Trustees of Austin, Austin Humane Society, and Town Lake Animal Shelter to help sick and injured animals.  These non-profit organizations work hard every day to help people in dire straits with their pets and animals in need.

 Animal Trustees of Austin, Inc. (ATA) is a non-profit animal welfare organization. ATA was founded by concerned citizens desiring to help lost, abused and abandoned animals in Austin and surrounding counties. ATA is made up of staff and volunteers united by one common interest - the welfare of the animals. 

 

 Austin Humane Society as the largest no-kill, non-profit pet adoption center in Austin, the Austin Humane Society is dedicated to: Saving Austin’s homeless cats and dogs, Educating our community about responsible pet ownership, and Reducing pet over-population.

 

 Town Lake Animal Center is the largest animal shelter in Central Texas, providing shelter to more than 23,000 animals each year and animal control services to all of Austin and Travis County. A division of the Austin/Travis County Health and Human Services Department, the shelter is an open-intake facility - no animal will be turned away.

 

 

 

 

         With such a big undertaking, all of these groups need help.  We are glad to be associated with their goals to help out pets in our area.  Besides treating parvo and heartworm cases, we have done a great number of dental cleanings, and treatment of sick and injured patients in conjunction with these facilities. 

     Animal Trustees is a non-profit organizations trying to help people and their pets.  If you would like to help out also your donations will enable them to offer more assistance to people and pets in need.

     The Humane Society is a No Kill Shelter that places a lot of animals in good homes and can certainly use your support. 

          “Town Lake Animal Center” - Austin/Travis County Health and Human Services Department’s Animal Services took in over 20,000 animals last year. This included thousands of underage puppies and kittens. If these very young animals have an opportunity to thrive they can be adopted out into a loving, permanent home. That’s where the city shelter’s Foster Program can make a tremendous difference.

          To qualify as a foster home parent, residents should live in Travis County, have a valid picture ID and have regular access to the Internet. All animals in a foster home must have current rabies vaccinations. If the prospective foster parent rents, we will need permission from the landlord to foster at the address.  Ideally, there should also be enough room in the foster home to separate them from owned animals.  You do not need any special training or skills to be a foster parent for homeless animals in Central Texas. Just a little room, a little extra time and a lot of love!
