APA! has a new partner to help save pets! Austin-based Wumbo Woof has pledged to donate $10,000 this year to support APA!s mission to help shelter cats and dogs find safe homes. The online family business offers customized dog accessories such as collars, harnesses, and leashes, through personalized engraving, and has pledged to donate a portion of every sale made throughout 2023 to APA!

In addition, Wumbo Woof is sponsoring two kennels in APA!’s Sponsor A Kennel program. Each Cat Condo can house up to 27 cats a year and each Dog Kennel houses about 13 pups each year.

Donations like this provide these pets care and support until they find new families. In return, the sponsors’ names are displayed on the kennels for twelve months, visible to the more than 100,000 visitors APA! receives annually.

Two of the dogs benefiting from this company’s generosity are Niyah and Rizzy. Niyah is a 4-year-old terrier mix who came to APA! In Mid-April. This playful, cuddly, human-loving gal is patiently waiting for her adoptive home. Meanwhile, she’s done a lot more than look cute from kennel 181 – she’s donated blood to a cat! When kitty Charlie Bucket needed a transfusion, our medical team quickly jumped into action and looked to this good girl pup to help another pet in need.

Rizzy, is currently taking up residence in the other Wumbo Woof kennel. This beautiful blue and white girl recently came into our care and is about 4 years old. She’s taking a little time to warm up to the environment but has already successfully attended play groups. We’re confident she’ll find a home of her very own soon!

In addition, Wumbo Woof will help promote pet adoptions by featuring an APA! dog and cat each month on their social media channels.

We’re honored to have Wumbo Woof’s support and are looking forward to a fun and fashionable year with them!
