YOU make this Season of Second Chances brighter for pets in need!
At APA!, we welcome the wounded, the weak, and the overlooked — those who have nowhere else to turn. Because of you, our doors are always open to pets who need a second chance at life and love.
Celebrating the Season of Second Chances can take many forms — whether giving a donation, shopping our holiday gift guide, or any other form of getting involved, you are joining in on creating a Second Chance to at-risk dogs, cats, puppies, and kittens.
There are 3 ways to choose from to give vulnerable pets a second chance this holiday season. Any choice you make below is a chance for them:
During this Season of Second Chances, we're asking every supporter to help us make this season bright — so that those who are counting on that second chance can have it, can bask in it, heal from it and ultimately find home in it.
This holiday season only: sponsor a kennel for $250 and receive a paper ornament you can gift or mail to a loved one. It’s a meaningful holiday gift that also saves lives. When donating, leave a comment with the program you’d like to support: Dog, Cat, Ringworm, Parvo, Shelter Pet Hospital (Dog or Cat Iso), or Elgin Transport Hub (Dog or Cat).
Make a difference with your holiday shopping this year with gifts perfect for the animal lovers in your life. Our 2025 Gift Guide is packed with thoughtful new items & beloved favorites from past years.
All donations to Austin Pets Alive! support saving the lives of the thousands of animals that come into APA!’s care each year. Unless you’ve designated funds to be used in a particular way, your monetary donation will support general operations.
