This thrift store is amazing! Everything inside there is clean, reasonably priced, and organized. Staff is super helpful and kind. They have all kinds of deals and even a rewards program where you can get a 50% voucher if you earn enough points! Every dollar you earn there is a point so after 200$ spent, you earn the rewards. It’s easy to reach that since everything there is so cool and nice. On top of it all, your money spent goes to helping and supporting the dogs! What a wonderful organization.

My FAVORITE charity!🐕🐈💞 Donate your items to help support their wonderful cause… saving SO many dogs & cats! AND, you don’t have to donate your clothing based on seasons! In other words, bring your winter coats and donate them in the middle of summer!

i was super excited to check this place out and they had some cool stuff, but their stairs are honestly a huge safety hazard. they are very uneven and small, you have to be super careful going up and down. i actually fell like halfway down the stairs and not a single employee acknowledged it or checked on me. when i told the cashier that i fell down the stairs, they straight up ignored me. i am sure this business does great things and it goes towards a fantastic cause, but those stairs really need to be fixed for safety reasons or someone could potentially get hurt way worse than i did.

Upper management abuses their younger staff members, nothing but the most broken items are priced to sell, it is expensive used items throughout the store. Its a great cause however the treatment of staff and the high prices of their items is not worth the visit. Upper management is highly unprofessional and has very poor etiquette towards their staff, customers, and volunteers.You are better off donating money and/or volunteering directly with the animal shelters than paying for anything in their thrift stores.Do not waste your time, money, or energy giving them your business here.Very disappointed in this from a non profit with managers having boating sessions and staff working for barely above poverty wages.

Fantastic thrift store that often has new stuff on the floor and great music. I've found some amazing items and the staff and volunteers are always welcoming, friendly, and helpful. Plus all the proceeds go to help save animals' lives. I love that APA! is economical with its resources and mobilizes volunteers to help run this thrift store.

The parking here wasn't the best, but super glad I didn't let that deter me. There are a few things that would make me give this place five stars if the store changed it. If they would put some lighting in the dressing rooms, add lighting throughout the front room, and if they would put more signs up about sales and where to go. I didnt realize there was a whole back room! I talked to the girl to see if the tags on the clothes (similar to goodwill) meant something and she told me about the sales. If I knew before looking I may have bought more. Staff was pleasant and nice. Definetly a thrift shop worth stopping at.

Loooove a thrift store with a good cause, hard to find stuff if you're male but really interesting stuff for everybody in general. Took an awesome poster and windbreaker from this store and the staff is really kind too. Recommended definitely.

Shopping at APA Thrift is THE BEST. It's a win win. Great deals for YOU, shopping for secondhand items is great for the environment, and most importantly, all net profits go directly to support the wonderful organization that is Austin Pets Alive!You can find some unreal deals at APA Thrift. Their products are carefully curated. Attached is a photo of a Siberian Husky magnet, Husky mug and 1996 model Kitchen Aid Stand Mixer with all original attachments, in excellent working condition. All of this set me back a whopping $61. I also purchased an entire winter wardrobe for $60. Including boots, sweaters, and soooo many tops.At this Burnet location, you can fill a trash bag full of clothes for $10 at their upstairs bins. You'll have to spend some time searching, which is half the fun! Make a day of it.I make it a point to donate all of my best clothing and housewares to APA Thrift instead of trying to sell on Poshmark, Ebay, etc. The animals are worth it. <3When you shop here, remember the greater purpose behind this store and consider adding on a little extra $ at checkout for the animals. Check it out and support this wonderful organization!

Great idea to generate revenue for austin pets alive. They have great donations here.I'd rather shop here than goodwill - that's for sure.

It's tight but packed full of fun finds! Love the little pet section...the outfit for my furbaby was great! Very nice clothing and shoes

Maybe this place has a good cause but keeping the parking lot with a dangerous deep pothole is very unkind. I tried to take a parking spot in front and hit it so badly, so my car front bumper cracked. I’m a very careful driver and my car is new, so this situation is especially upsetting. Unfortunately, because of such an unpleasant situation I cannot recommend this place to park or shop.

One of the best thrift stores I’ve been too! The store is meticulously organized and clean. A great selection of vintage and name brand clothing in good lightly used condition. I bought a couple items new with tags still on them. Very reasonable prices. Staff were friendly and I love shopping for a good cause! Yes parking isn’t great in the front but you can park in back or on the side of the building.

Super affordable thrift store finds for a good cause. Bought a pair of vintage earrings for $3. A fantastic way to support Austin's local animal shelters. Please drop by!

Love these stores! Especially the fact that my purchases directly benefit the shelter. One thing--please remind your workers to thank people when they bring in donations. I don't expect a gush of appreciation, but a smile and a simple "thank you" would go a long way. The folks at the Burnet Rd and Airport Blvd are usually so nice, I was surprised at their nonchalance when I dropped off some nice stuff.

This was my first time visiting an APA! Thrift store! It has a very nice layout with well organized sections of items.My friend found several items - shoes, a dress and a coat, as well as a hat, and I found a vintage pith helmet, along with a nice set of ceramic bowls for my kitchen. Everything is very reasonably priced, too.As a guy, I very much appreciated their good selection of men's clothes upstairs, which had quite a few things in my size. I'll be back to look at all of that again.

Today was my first time at this Austin Pets Alive location. I found some great clothing and the employees were very friendly! I’ll definitely be back!

What an amazing thrift shop! Was greeted by a gentleman named Jeffrey (very professional). He recommended I check out the men’s clothing section and I found some great finds! We chatted a bit about the local restaurants and the area as well as I’m new to Austin. It was a great experience and I will definitely be returning for all my thrusting needs. 10/10 would recommend this spot!

I love this place! I was looking for a new suit jacket and Jeffrey helped me find a great one that fit me perfectly! We chatted for a while and he made me feel right at home. It's amazing that I can find such cool stuff at such a low price, and I sleep well knowing my money went to a good cause!

I love this place! Prices are great and they have all kinds of stuff for all kinds of people!They also have this very cool mode where you pay a fix amount and get a bag, then you go to a space and can get whatever you want and fit the entire bag with things! So worth it!The best part is knowing that your money goes to saving lives! They do a great job!Please also consider visiting their shelter and maybe adopting a new friend!Their staff is so kind and friendly and parking is easy, right in front of the store.I'll definitely go back there soon!Thank you!

I love that the proceeds from this thrift store benefit Austin's most vulnerable pets. And all donated items are tax deductible (tax receipt provided). It's a win-win!

Be prepared to spend hours here looking through everything! I had a great thrifting experience here and got a lot of neat Christmas items such as an ornament and glass mugs. Although some of the items are priced too high for second-hand goods.

Best thrift place I've been to- and I do take superlatives seriously. The whole place has a chill, inviting vibe with an aesthetic to match. It seems like the entire store was someone's crazy idea that actually came to fruition. The clothes in the front were good but the clothes in the back are top tier. Their other sections just have hidden treasures and are clean and organized. The prices are even better than Goodwill's, they offer a student discount, and they let us fill up a bag of unsorted clothes from their upstairs section for spending $25+! But the best part of it all was the staff- great people running the place and I'll be sure to stop by again when I'm in town!

Pet lovers have the best fashion sense! 😻This place is cozy, cute, and cheap - my three favorite things. I'm amazed at the high quality stuff I can walk away with for three bucks.It's tight shopping, but organized well enough you barely notice. Definitely recommend!

One of my favorite thrift shops in Austin. Austin Pets Alive! does a great job of organizing and curating their inventory. Every time I have gone, the staff is always so kind. Prices are fair and they have a great selection of gently used brand names. Definitely recommend stopping by to support a great organization!

I haven't been thrifting here since before the pandemic, so it was nice to go there again. They still have some nice items, at descent prices. My Mom found a couple of dresses for my 16 y.o. niece, and I got a few writing pads. We'll hit them again in the future. And I THANK THEM for making customers and the staff wear masks. We're ALL IN THIS...TOGETHER.💛💛💛

Been thrift shopping for over 20 years and this gem of a place has some STEALS at both locations! The selection isn't huge, but the prices more than make up for it (seriously dirt cheap!) and the clientele and staff are super friendly. Easy parking at both locations. I love the kind staff (and Miss Sweets) the most. I've donated AND shopped here and I will continue to. I love that it is helping the animals as well (APA!). Thank you!

I love thrift stores in general and it makes me especially happy when I can find a treasure and also know it helps Austin Pets Alive! This store is always clean and well organized and the staff are friendly and appreciative. And the prices are GREAT! I've never been that it wasn't a pleasant and fun experience. Hats off to APA for setting up another way we can help.

Very organized, decent sized space so it doesn't feel overwhelming. Personal atmosphere, prices are a little high but they sell items of great value and in great condition. Everything seems purposeful. Enjoyed the customer service, and dogs are allowed!
