At Hays County Commissioners Court Tuesday, Austin Pets Alive! Executive Advisor Lee Ann Shenefiel provided an update on the progress being made towards the planned Center for Pet Resources, Education and Research.
She said that the goal is to use resources in the most effective and efficient way to get the best outcomes for people and pets in the county, using the 2022 feasibility study written by Dr. Sara Pizano of Team Shelter USA.
“Programs that focus on addressing the root causes of why dogs and cats end up in shelters in the first place are essential. We will find ways for the most vulnerable pet owners to access resources like spay neuter and pet identification,” Shenefiel stated, in a press release from the court.
