xp: no kill shelters??

also posted on baby board:

My very wonderful friend picked up a stray back in November.  The dog had not been taken care of.  She went had all the necessary vaccines, ect, ect, ect...

She's been 'fostering' him while trying to find a forever home.  She's realized that the environment is not the best for Noah (the foster dog) or her current dog.  She refuses to take him to any shelters in Austin (they're all kill shelters).  Do you guys know of any no kill shelters anywhere in Texas?She'll drive him wherever she can be confident in the end result. 

I'm going to research a lot tonight - but if you know of anythign, please let me know. 

Or, if you're interested in adopting a sweetheart Collie/Shephard mix.  He's 8ish years old and has aurthritis in his back hips, but he's a kind hearted dog that needs a home without another dog - and where he can have space to play outside.  You post here or email shanwalk2 at yahoo dot com

  • I believe Williamson or Georgetown are no kill... I would check their websites to make sure.

  • Georgetown is low-kill, but Austin passed something today to head toward no-kill. Check out the statesman for new developments on the Austin shelter.
    We have so much time, and so little to do! Strike that, reverse it.

    I was just going to post this.  I saw it on the news today so it may be worth looking in to.

  • the humane society is really their best bet. They CAN NOT say it's a stray though, they won't take it that way. They have to say it's their dog. Most rescue groups only pull from shelters, they don't take owner surrenders.

    Your best bet with rescue groups is a breed specific rescue. Depending on what the dog most looks like you could try a shepherd rescue or a collie rescue..

  • I believe Elgin is a no-kill shelter as well.  We got our (crazy) dog from there after she'd been there for over 6 months.  :(
  • I thought the SPCA was no-kill?
