Our mission is to improve the lives of dogs and cats in Bastrop County, in partnership with the community, Bastrop County Animal Shelter, and other organizations. Our purpose is: 1. Funding what the Bastrop County Animal Shelter cannot for adoptable animals in their care, such as: the cost of lifesaving medical diagnostics and veterinary care, medical and grooming equipment, transportation funds for shelter animals to go to partner rescue organizations, food and supplies for animals in foster care, upgrades to the living conditions for animals at the shelter, andemergency food and cat litter. 2. Reducing the number of unwanted animals in Bastrop County, and thus shelter intake through spay/neuter initiatives. 3. Promoting adoption of shelter animals. 4. Promoting responsible pet ownership in Bastrop County through education and training. 5. Recognizing exceptional volunteerism on behalf of homeless animals. We put animals first, & operate with integrity and transparency.
