American Pets Alive! is a national program dedicated to saving the lives of companion animals in shelters across the United States. Founded by the renowned rescue organization Austin Pets Alive!, American Pets Alive! aims to end the urgent crisis of unnecessary deaths in shelters by providing individuals, communities, and organizations with the knowledge, protocols, and mindset that enabled Austin to become the largest No Kill city in the nation. With a mission to transform the animal sheltering system into a safety-net for animals in need, American Pets Alive! is committed to inspiring a culture of compassion where every life is valued.

Through consultations, assessments, and educational programs like the American Pets Alive! Conference and Maddie's® University, they empower animal advocates to take action and increase lifesaving in shelters. American Pets Alive! believes that animals deserve a legitimate chance at life, and they strive to be an innovative and trusted leader in creating a world where shelters have the tools, resources, and knowledge to provide a true haven for animals until their families are found.
