The Estate of the Union Podcast - A conversation with Austin Pets Alive!

The next Estate of The Union is out now! We continue our Conversations with Non-Profits series, where our listeners have an opportunity to learn about the great works of local and state non-profits. In this episode, Zach Wiewel speaks with Virginia Larson with Austin Pets Alive about their vital mission to find forever homes for the most vulnerable and lovable members of society - our dogs and cats. They discuss the importance of being a no kill shelter and how APA assists other shelters to prevent the needless euthanasia of unwanted pets. Austin Pets Alive is driven primarily by donors and volunteers. Virginia shares many of the ways donors and volunteers can participate and support Austin Pets Alive's mission, such as the upcoming Raise A Day for APA! June 9th & 10th, and Second Chance Saturdays at their five local thrift stores. There are so many opportunities to be involved!
