Post-adoption support is a winning strategy.
In 2012, Mike Kaviani was hired to do the seemingly impossible at Austin Pets Alive!. The large, private nonprofit was a key player in pushing the Texas capitol to become no-kill—to save at least 90 percent of all homeless animals. But APA! wanted to touch the stars, to see how close they could get to 100 percent. To do that, the group took in dogs who had landed on the euthanasia list at the city shelter. Some were on that list for medical reasons, but more were on it because of their behavior. They weren’t easy dogs. That’s where Kaviani came in.
