When reaching no-kill status, part of the last few percent-to-save are dogs and cats with terminal but manageable illnesses. This presentation discusses how Austin works to save the last few percent through the use of specialized hospice foster homes for dogs and cats. This presentation was recorded at the 2016 American Pets Alive! Conference.
