Join attorney Ryan Clinton, founder of Fix Austin, as he kicks off the conference by sharing the obstacles, challenges, successes, and strategies that Austin faced on their journey to no-kill. At the end of this session, you will have a clear understanding of how and why no-kill success is possible anywhere and everywhere. Austin is the largest, truly no-kill city in America, but your community can save each and every animal, too! This presentation was recorded by Maddie's Fund® at the 2019 American Pets Alive! Conference.
