Why we exist

Mail can change a life.
Even a pet's.

Austin shelters are full of animals who deserve a home. The problem isn't that people don't care; it's visibility. We believe that when someone holds a real photo of a dog named Biscuit who loves belly rubs and is waiting at a local shelter, something shifts.

Austin Pet Post was built to create that moment, month after month, and to make sure the shelters themselves are supported in the process. Forty cents of every dollar you spend goes to our costs. The other fifty goes straight to the animals.

Questions answered

Frequently Asked Questions

Do the postcards feature real animals available for adoption?

Yes, that's the whole point. Every month we work directly with a local Austin shelter to feature two real animals who need homes. Their actual photos, names, ages, and personalities are printed right on the postcard, along with how to contact the shelter to start the adoption process.

How does the 50% donation work, exactly?

Each month, we calculate total profit: total revenue minus our costs for printing, materials, packaging, and shipping. 50% of that profit goes directly to the shelter we featured that month. We're committed to publishing monthly donation reports so you can see exactly what was donated and to whom.

When does my subscription ship?

We ship once per month, typically during the first week. If you subscribe mid-month, you'll receive your first envelope the following month. You'll get an email notification with a tracking number when yours is on the way.

Which shelters do you work with?

We partner with Austin-area animal shelters and rescue organizations on a rotating monthly basis. We'll announce each month's featured shelter on our Instagram page and include a write-up about them in your envelope. If you have a shelter you'd love to see featured, send us a note; we'd love to hear from you.

Can I cancel anytime?

Absolutely. You can cancel your subscription at any time through your Shopify account. No phone calls, no waiting, no questions asked. If you cancel before your next billing date, you won't be charged for the following month.

What kind of surprise goodies are included?

It rotates! Planned goodies include sticker sheets, small art prints, bookmarks, enamel pins, and more. They're always animal-themed and chosen with care. We may occasionally feature items from local Austin artists and makers, because shopping local matters too.

Do you ship outside of Austin?

Yes! We ship anywhere in the United States. Our shelter partnerships are Austin-focused, but your subscription helps those local animals find homes no matter where you live. Want to spread the word about an Austin animal while living in New York? We love that.
