The Round Rock Independent School District board voted Thursday night not to censure two trustees for walking out of a 2021 meeting.

Crews with the Manor Fire Department said working smoke detectors alerted those inside a home that caught fire early Friday morning. They said everyone was able to get out safely.

Fellow Austinites, the Austin Animal Center has been over capacity for a long time but this problem has continued to grow exponentially. We are in a dire situation. We have pop up crates everywhere we can put them. We have hundreds and hundreds of large dogs and nowhere to put them, and they continue to flow in each day. There is a lot of hate on the Austin Animal Center but I promise you we are putting our heart, soul, and entire life into doing everything we can for these animals. Yes there are some issues higher up and we fight it every day to do what's best for the animals. We have so so many dogs, we can barely provide them a place to sleep. Lots of people think what we need is dog food but we need the community to come together and help these animals, we need fosters, adopters, volunteers, anything. Please help us. The animals of Austin need your help. There is a lot of misunderstandings about what we do, a lot of pushback, people claiming we "are not in a space crisis" who have never even come to see the situation first hand. But all that aside we all have the same intention, to help these animals. submitted by /u/Fantastic-MrsMali [link] [comments]
