Campaign Details

This year, we're trying something new to raise money for our Annual Campaign. Instead of hosting another fancy luncheon, or boring you with an onslaught of letters, we're putting the fundraising in your hands. We're giving you the opportunity to be an advocate for the animals of Austin by participating in a Virtual Pet Walk. You can give as much or as little time and money as you wish, and because it's a vritual walk you never have to leave the comfort of your couch, chair, or wherever you do your social networking. The fundraising opportunities are endless, and we hope you embrace this opportunity to get your family and friends as excited about Animal Trustees of Austin as you are.

Your gift to the Annual Campaign is what keeps the lights on in our operating suite while Dr. Lewis saves the lives of animals in crisis; provides the drugs that treat dogs with fatal heartworm disease; keeps medical supplies stocked; and enables our team of amazing veterinary technicians to provide the highest caliber care with the greatest love. Despite ATA’s small space and limited dollars, 41,295 animals were cared for in our clinics over the past year. Thanks to your generosity and ATA’s network of dedicated volunteers, our administrative costs total less than nine percent of our annual budget.

About Animal Trustees of Austin

We are committed to maintaining the excellence of high-quality and low-cost spay/neuter services, and the accessibility of animal wellness care and affordable heartworm treatment, canine dentals, and special surgeries. We also intend to respond to some of the areas in our community where there are increasing shortfalls. We hope to launch a program that will provide free or low-cost service for animals belonging to veterans returning from war, and with the unceasing need for emergency veterinary treatment, we wish to grow our Emergency Care Fund so that no animal will have to suffer because of its owner’s lack of resources.

Your generosity means so much to us. Thank you for your kindness and compassion for all animals.
