HERE'S WAYS TO HELP

Here's a list of local organizations and reputable nonprofits based in Texas that are in need of donations.

Please help our friends in #Texas affected by #HurricaneHarvey. Many organizations have taken in homeless pets from shelters in Harvey's path & family pets displaced by Harvey, & they need our help. Our friends at @austinpetsalive have taken in over 200 pets, and they are in URGENT NEED OF FINANCIAL DONATIONS to cover the cost of housing and feeding these pets. We have provided a link on our bio page to make a tax-deductible donation to #AustinPetsAlive to help them continue saving the lives of our furry friends in need. Every dollar makes a difference. They are maxed out with in-kind donations, so they just need financial help at this time to keep their emergency rescue operation going. Also, if you want to be reminded that there are awesome people in this world (& especially in Austin!), click #APAHarvey to see how many people in Austin rushed to APA to foster their existing pets, so they could make room at their center for Hurricane Harvey victims! Additionally, organizations like the #AmericanRedCross & Direct Relief International @directrelief are providing critical support on the front lines of this disaster, so they can definitely use your support. Sending all of our love & gratitude to the brave first responders & citizens who have stepped up to rescue victims of this storm (swipe left for more pics). Thanks in advance to all of you for sharing this message & supporting these organizations. #Harvey #hurricaneharveyfoster #APAHarvey #Houston #Austin #corpuschristi #hurricaneharveyrescue
