Mar 30, 2023 Austin Pets Alive! has long been known for innovating, collaborating, and sharing our knowledge of how to save animals’ lives.

The interns, who are between 16 and 21 years old, are learning the ins and outs of shelter management, and...
Study Finds Having Pets Could Reduce Food Allergies In Children
Growing up with pets is special, as the bond between animals and children can be unmatched. But besides getting a built-in best friend, having a pet as a child may have some health benefits as well!

Americans’ Obsession with Selfies is Taking a Toll on Wildlife
Marine and wildlife officials are having a heck of a time trying to get the public to listen regarding their unhealthy obsession with approaching wildlife while trying to pet them or having their pictures taken alongside them, which creates untold stress for the confused and often frightened animals. It’s called harassment, and it’s reaching a breaking point. Don’t believe it? Consider the baby dolphin that died 5 or 6 years ago after being passed around and photographed by tourists who found it stranded at a busy Spanish...
Timid Border Collie Overcomes Fear Of Kittens To Become The Best Foster Mom
There has always been a disconnect between cats and dogs. Part of it may be a reality, but the other part is something that exists in our minds. Sometimes we see the disconnect in our own lives when we have both cats and dogs under the same roof. That was the case with Phoebe, a border collie who didn’t enjoy living with cats. In fact, he had a fear of cats. Photo: YouTube/The Dodo According to The Dodo, things changed for Phoebe, however, when two sets of kittens got involved. This concerned the human mom, Aki Yamaguchi, but it...
New Research Suggests Dogs Could Give Us The Flu And Other Viruses
We love our dogs, and we know that they love us too. For years, we’ve also been told that it’s practically impossible for a dog to get us sick, but that may be changing. In southern China, two dogs have been found to be carrying a mutant strain of the influenza C virus. That is a virus that typically infects people according to Scientific American reports. Photo: Pexels/Christian Domingues Although it is mostly children who have this illness, and they spread it to each other, typically at school, these dogs may now be carrying the...
