Help the People and Pets of Hays County by Sharing Your Feedback
Hays County Pet Resource Center and Austin Pets Alive! Launch Community Survey
HAYS COUNTY – Calling all Hays County community members and animal lovers to participate in an important survey! Your participation will help guide the future of animal welfare in the area.
Hays County has partnered with non-profit organization Austin Pets Alive! to lead the development of a new animal shelter that will provide programs focused on public safety, animal safety and lifesaving, increased public access to important resources for pet owners, and community education to provide safe and humane care for pets. The survey launches September 1, and community participation will help determine programs for the Hays County Pet Resource Center.
“We want to know what the community’s needs are for people and pets,” said Lee Ann Shenefiel, Austin Pets Alive! Executive Advisor and Project Coordinator. “All survey responses will be looked at and considered, so this is an important opportunity for the community to share their input with us and drive the conversation from the beginning on what people and pets need in Hays County. ”
The project aims to implement recommendations from a 2022 feasibility study that proposed an animal welfare model for Hays County. This includes the construction of a new shelter designed to support 2000 dogs and cats annually, investment in robust community programs designed to reduce the number of animals coming into the shelter and help keep people and pets together, and a high-volume public veterinary clinic. Initial construction estimates are around $24 million.
The survey is open to participants through September 30 and is available in online and print formats in English and Spanish. Austin Pets Alive! is also looking for volunteers to attend local events promoting the Pet Resource Center. Volunteers will visit with local community partners to share information about the project, gather survey input, and input survey results. Training and community service hours are provided, and application fees are waived for Hays County volunteers. For more information or to sign up to volunteer, visit austinpetsalive.org/volunteer or email [email protected].
