"They helped save 60 dogs @austinpetsalive yesterday." The popular no-kill animal shelter in Austin announced last week that the "future of animal welfare in the city is in immediate jeopardy" because there's been no agreement with the city after 4 years of negotiations to keep Austin's no-kill status.

"Austin is a No Kill community because of your support and work during the past decade. We will ensure No Kill but rely on the council to direct the city manager to finalize a new and more equitable service agreement with APA!" Theroux adopted Kuma in June 2018 after she was rescued from a high-kill shelter following a hurricane, according to a previous post on his Instagram. He is an avid supporter of the #AdoptDontShop movement.
