URGENT NEED FOR EMERGENCY FOSTERS

If you have room for one more at your house, please consider taking one of these dogs from Austin Animal Center.

Southpaws will help you with free behavioral and training support. We always give foster dogs a $10 per day rate for daycare.

Two kennel spaces have been operating using portable AC and box fans since Aug. 14, when the air conditioning went out.

Manners classes at Southpaws Playschool are always force-free and dog-centered. Classes are divided by size or age so that your dog can socialize freely without anxiety.
If you like the idea of a fun, mostly off-lead manners class, contact us at [email protected] for more information.

Leaving the windows cracked is not enough. Leaving the a/c running and locking the car with the remote is not enough.
"Just gonna be in there for a few minutes" is not justification.

Be mindful.
