APA! Thrift-Round Rock is our newest store opening February 17th. We will need regular volunteers to help the stores once it opens. Between February 2-12 we will be setting up the store and will be working the same times everyday, basically 10AM-6PMish. We are planning to paint the first couple of days, we are also building the fitting rooms from scratch. We have a volunteer leading this project, but he will need support. As we get closer to the Grand Opening we will need volunteers to help with organizing and set up of the clothes and making sure we are ready for Opening.
APA! Thrift stores are boutique style, selling high quality new and gently used items for very low prices. All net proceeds directly support the innovative life-saving programs of Austin Pets Alive!. We utilize volunteers in every aspect of store operations, this helps to keep out overhead low and means that more money goes to the animals. Volunteers help with sorting clothes and other donations, pricing items, and organizing the store.

About Austin Pets Alive!

Town Lake Animal Center, 1156 W. Cesar Chavez St., Austin, TX 78703, US
Mission Statement
To keep Austin a no-kill city by serving as the safety net to the city shelter's animals that would otherwise be killed, saving the most medically and behaviorally challenged pets.
Description
Please visit our website listed if interested in volunteering!
Austin Pets Alive! (APA!) is a 501(c) 3 (nonprofit) organization run almost exclusively by dedicated volunteers.
We are implementing innovative and progressive programs in Austin and Central Texas after studying the best practices of other cities who are no-kill or are in the process of becoming no-kill.
We have created our own "road map" that uses a lot of experience from many different places as well as incorporating the unique characteristics of the Austin area. Austin is rich in prevention resources such as spay/neuter, compared to other cities, and we are filling the gaps in service areas that have been historically under-represented, such as high volume, high quality adoption.
We are currently focused on helping the healthy and treatable pets who are at risk of being killed in a shelter, by rescuing the pets who are at the greatest risk and helping owners who are having problems so great that they need to surrender their pet(s) to a shelter.
In our rescue program, to not duplicate work of other agencies, we focus solely on the pets who have already been passed over by other groups and the shelters’ adoption programs and only take the healthy and treatable pets who are about to be killed and have no other options.
