Mascot of the Match (updated)

Austin FC is proud to partner with Austin Pets Alive! (APA!) to help save the lives of pets and spread more love in Austin. 

Since the inaugural season, Austin FC has supported the shelter’s mission of ending needless euthanasia of companion animals.  As the first program of its kind in professional sports, each regular season MLS match features a dog (or dogs) available for adoption.

“The mission at Austin Pets Alive! includes keeping people and pets together, ending the needless deaths of animals in shelters and reimagining the role of animal shelters in our community,” said Dr. Ellen Jefferson, President and CEO of Austin Pets Alive!
