Buttercup was living near the highway for months before she was captured. It appeared as though she had a litter and was dumped, left to fend for herself. 💔She was familiar with the street vendors who would feed her when she came out of the nearby woods each afternoon and evening, like clockwork. The wonderful woman who caught her was able to give her some time to decompress in a home and get notes before her shelter intake. Now, Due to the space issues at the Austin Animal Center, Buttercup finds herself in boarding. 😕We don’t know the exact conditions of her boarding, making us even more eager to get her into a home again ASAP❗️About:🔘 cuddly, velcro dog🔘 house trained, non destructive 🔘 has potential to live with other dogs with proper introduction and separation during feeding 🔘 loves outdoor time and chasing lizards🔘 enjoys jumping in the pool on a hot summer day🔘 goofy girl who self entertains herself by tossing tots in the air and catching🔘 treat motivated, making her highly trainable🔘 medium energy, loves her walks but can also chillButtercup is available in Austin, TX. To adopt out of ATX, please reach out to discuss picking her up or transport options.📍 📩 Email [email protected] to learn more about Buttercup & how to foster / adopt her. #foster #adopt #urgent #space #crisis #shelter #boarding #sad #dumped #mama #street #dog #austin #texas #austintexas #usa #help #animals #dogs #welfare #rescueatxdogs
Espresso’s story serves as a prime example of the consequences of Austin Animal Center’s closed and restricted intake policies. It underscores the urgent need for reform to end the continuous hardships for animals in Travis County. ❤️🩹Espresso’s life, like countless other disregarded dogs, was filled with life-threatening dangers, including- traffic, extreme weather, starvation, disease, and abuse. The longer dogs live on the streets, the more their health and behavior can deteriorate. 😔��Estimated to be just over a year old, Espresso spent her entire life without food security, safety of a home, or human interaction. When she was rescued by Jack Jack’s Pack, she was starving, severely shut down, and needed urgent veterinary care. As days passed, Espresso’s reluctance to interact, tendency to hide, and extreme anxiety highlighted the toll of prolonged exposure to stressful environments without human care or affection. ❤️Not having a safety net for homeless animals has dire effects. The city has shifted a significant burden onto our community to address not only the abandoned and stray dog population but also their medical and behavioral needs. Rescue organizations, animal volunteers, and community members have stepped up. Yet our resources, time, and capacity are stretched to their limits. We remain committed because forgotten dogs, like Espresso, deserve to know compassion, patience, and love.It’s time to hold Austin Animal Center accountable and remind leadership that their annual budget of $21 million should, at the very least, uphold the municipal shelter’s mission statement, “To provide public service and a safety net for lost and homeless animals in the community by providing necessary food, water, shelter and standard municipal veterinary care for animals in need.” ➡️ How you can help: 🔘 Share, comment, save, & like our posts! 🔘 Follow & support Jack Jack’s Pack: @jackjackspackstreetdogrescue 🔘 Join advoca
Okra has 1️⃣ day left to find a foster! 🚨 If he goes back to the shelter his eye will lose all the progress it’s had in healing & his euthanasia timer could be begin at any moment❗️Okra spent his life living in a yard, in a crate that was too small for him, and chained to a fence. 😢 Despite this, he loves his humans & is a very good boy. ❤️A volunteer gave him a much needed break for his eye to begin healing. The shelter environment is no place for a boy that needs to physically and emotionally heal. ❤️🩹 Okra finds himself on the “urgent placement” list, which means he could be assigned a euthanasia notice due to the space crisis at the shelter. ⏳Do you have a home that you can open up to Okra so he can finally begin experiencing the best things in life?🙏Okra: 💚🔘 needs a pet free home at this time🔘 could live with older, respectful kids 🔘 house trained, potty trained, not destructive 🔘 available for foster in or around Austin, TX📍🔘 available for adoption but must be picked up in Austin, TX or reach out to discuss transport options 🚘 📩 Email his friends at [email protected] to learn more about fostering or adopting Okra before he goes back to the shelter. #foster #adopt #urgent #atrisk #urgentplacement #dog #rescue #fosteringsaveslives #healing #sick #unwell #help
