Congratulations Nathan WInograd !!!

Every dog has his day and mine is August 3. At Sunday’s sold out screening to my film Redemption, Austin City Council Member Mike Martinez read a proclamation declaring August 3 “Nathan Winograd Day” in the City of Austin for my role in helping it become the largest city in America saving better than 90% of shelter animals. The proclamation, signed by Mayor Lee Leffingwell, reads, in part, “We are pleased to recognize Mr. Winograd’s unwavering dedication and commitment to saving the lives of homeless pets, along with his work at the No Kill Advocacy Center, which have inspired Austin and cities throughout the country to dramatically increase shelter lifesaving.”


Thank you to the Mayor, thank you to the Council, thank you most especially to Mr. Martinez, Ryan Clinton, Larry Tucker, Lorri Michel, and Dr. Ellen Jefferson, as well as everyone else who fought for a No Kill community and every animal lover making a lifesaving difference in Austin. I am truly honored and so incredibly grateful.
