Grants Specialist APA! BACKGROUND: Austin Pets Alive! (APA!) is one of Austin's most dynamic and best-loved nonprofits. The organization is a leader in the no kill movement nationally and is considered a national thought leader in animal welfare. APA! locally rescues, treats, and adopts out 10,000 homeless dogs and cats each year, providing the safety net for Austin's most at-risk shelter pets, which helps Austin to be a no-kill city, while also assisting other communities in saving homeless animals. The organization is distinguished by the scrappiness of its grassroots, non-traditional community-based animal rescue work. The organization continues to innovate best practices to save lives and has taught its renowned lifesaving model through American Pets Alive!, APA!'s national division.
