Justice for Austin

Honoring a dedicated service dog and supporting a family's fight for accountability.

The Story

Austin was more than a pet; he was a highly trained service dog and a lifeline for his handler. His life was tragically cut short during a horrific incident while he was under the care of a professional kennel.

We are standing with Austin's family as they pursue legal action. This is about more than one dog: it is about ensuring that service animals are protected and that boarding facilities are held to the highest possible standards of safety and care.
