APA!’s Transport Program brings people and pets together regardless of the miles. We move cats and dogs out of under-resourced Texas shelters where they face euthanasia, provide medical screenings and care, then fly or drive them to safety in places where adopters and fosters are waiting with open arms.
Our Transport Program was born out of the 2021 Winter Storm Uri, a freeze event that adversely impacted Texas shelters and put many pets’ lives at risk. We set a goal to save 1,000 lives that winter by connecting under-resourced Texas shelters with out-of-state No Kill shelters and rescue organizations. When we hit our goal in four weeks — when an adorable cat named Charlie was placed in a loving home — we knew we couldn’t stop there.
Today the APA! Transport Program has helped save thousands of animals’ lives. We are poised to save thousands more, with the opening of our APA! Transport Hub. Can you help an at-risk dog or cat get to safety?
