Elgin, United States Austin Pets Alive! Full time

**Animal Care Technician - Transport Hub**

Austin Pets Alive (APA) is one of Austin’s most dynamic and best-loved nonprofits. The organization is the leader in the no kill movement nationally and is considered a national thought leader in animal welfare. APA locally rescues, treats, and adopts out 10,000 homeless dogs and cats each year, providing the safety net for Austin’s most at-risk shelter pets, which helps Austin to be a no-kill city, while also assisting other communities in saving homeless animals. The organization is distinguished by the scrappiness of its grassroots, non-traditional community-based animal rescue work.

The organization continues to innovate best practices to save lives and teaches its renowned lifesaving model through American Pets Alive, APA’s national division. In 2020, AmPA began the Human Animal Support Services (HASS) project, a collaborative movement of more than 10,000 animal welfare professionals working in nearly 1,900 organizations. Austin Pets Alive works through American Pets Alive to expand Austin’s life-saving model throughout the nation. Part of this includes facilitating the relocation of animals from our under-resourced partner shelters to communities with more life-saving capacity.
