Austin Dog Zone announces the implementation of a new program to help feed pets in animal shelters and rescue groups. The Coupon Rescue Challenge Program is an innovative idea to help feed animal shelter and rescue pets in Austin and the surrounding area including Georgetown and Round Rock. Using the “it takes a village to pawsitively impact their community” approach, they are inviting folks to join in this challenge. ADZ founders Caitlin & Laura write:
“Say Yes to Rescue Pets, Say No to Retail Prices”
Austin Dog Zone needs your help to send high quality pet food and other supplies to local shelters and rescue groups.
It’s EASY and costs NOTHING for you to participate (really!):
1. You send us coupons from a list of approved pet food brands* For more information on how, click here.
2. Austin Dog Zone will purchase items at 50% off or more
3. The Shelter or Rescue Group of *your choice* receives the items you sent coupons for!
Why start the CRC Program?
For those of you who are familiar with the reality of animal shelters and rescue groups, you already know that more often than not, resources are extremely limited within these groups. There’s always a need for something, whether it’s food, housing, supplies or medical care. Some animals may not receive the full care that they need, simply because it is out of an organization’s financial means.
This is where our CRC Program comes into play: if we can help provide basic resources (i.e. pet food) to local shelters and rescue groups, we can help their group use a portion of their food funds for other costs, such as surgeries and medications for animals with special needs. We hope that as a result, this program could help these groups save more lives and in turn find more homes for these homeless pets.”
Austin Dog Zone is an Austin-based training and wellness program for area pets and they are offering ‘up to 15%” off any training program they offer to folks that participate in their Coupon Challenge.
If you are interested in becoming an Extreme Pet Couponer for Austin Dog Zone’s Coupon Rescue Challenge, please email laura@austindogzone.com! Laura will send you the details and help get you started! Also, if your shelter, or rescue group would like to be added to the list of places to donate, please contact Laura.

Note: anyone can participate in this Coupon Challenge, regardless of where you live. But I wanted to share this simple but innovative program because I think this could be implemented in ANY city to help shelter and rescue pets! A big paw salute to Caitlin and Laura for sharing such a great idea to help homeless pets!
