Perfect Puppy: SXSW’s Animal Acts Pose With Adorable Homeless Pets
Austin Pets Alive!, part of the Austin No-Kill program, rescues pets that have been abandoned or prematurely placed on the euthanasia list. We visited the shelter (and made some furry friends) with South by Southwest 2014's premier animal acts — Doja Cat, Animals as Leaders, Pack of Wolves and Dog Trumpet — for the most adorable photo shoot in SXSW history.
