A Word of Appreciation

 

Chain Free Austin would like to thank the Austin Community Foundation, Animal Trustees of Austin, and Metalink Corporation for making the Dog Fence Fund possible.  We would also like to thank Town Lake Animal Center for the assistance and information they are providing to citizens.  We also offer special thanks to each and every kind-hearted soul who has made a donation to one of the fencing assistance programs or volunteered their time and effort to this cause.
