INTRODUCTION TO THE P.A.S.S. PROGRAM:
Positive Alternatives
to Shelter Surrender (P.A.S.S.) is a service provided by Austin Pets
Alive! (APA!) We work together
with you to determine and implement the best solution for you and your
pet. Thank you for caring enough to try to keep your pet out of the shelter.
How we help:
Resources to Help You Keep Your Pet
We
can point you to low-cost resources that will help you with any medical
issues you are having with your pet. We can provide advice and
put you in touch with trainers who can help you resolve behavior issues
so you can keep your pet. Many problems that ordinary pet owners find
insurmountable can be resolved with help from an experienced
professional.
Do-It-Yourself Rehoming
Visit our Rehome Your Pet instruction page
to learn how you can rehome your pet yourself. APA can help you get
high quality photos of your pet or write a compelling bio to increase
your chance of finding a new home. We recommend you post to other
sites such as Craig's List, and put flyers up at places like your vet's
office.
