ALL ABOUT US
 
 

Mini-Owner Thank You - our mini-owners have dedicated two to four weekends a month to attend visits throughout our community - there are so many facilities that want us to come - 2007-2019 when COVID hit. Please see status below.

​

Julia and Mom Betty - joined us in 2013 from a referral from Dr. Joyce at Austin Equine. We are so glad she found and joined us. Julia handles all aspects of her minis as her mom Betty is our honorary member at 93. We call her our supervisor :) .. Julia does our one weekday visiti monthly, and most of our night events and UT Austin Stress day. She also does Saturday visits with the team and is on the board of directors.  She has 6 working minis - B.B. (Betty's Boy), Emily, Fiona, Jooney Bell, Mini Pearl and Wiggins .  Meet them on our Meet the Minis page.

Dedicated Mini-Team who stayed with us during the COVID-19 years and have worked 2-3 Saturdays since June 2022 and are so excited to return in 2023

CURRENT STATUS:

UPDATE: Minis and Friends is back! We currently have lost two of our Austin mini-owners including the co-founder's minis who are now living in Paige, Texas due to her husband's lung cancer in 2021 which made it impossible to care for the minis. We are hoping our good friend who adopted them will start up in Bastrop County.  We are delighted to say our Elgin Mini Owners will be back in April 2023.

With a dedicated team of 10 volunteers who stayed with us throughout COVID-19, Julia's 6 minis have started visits again in South Austin and Lakeway.  We are seriously looking for two-three new mini-owners to help cover the greater Austin metro area. Interested? Contact us at:  info@minisandfriends.org for more information.

You can SCHEDULE us by using the form on the Schedule page. Make sure you add your Facility name and where you are located. Until we add new mini-owners, we are mostly in central to south Austin, Austin, and Lakeway.

VOLUNTEER TRAINING - Our next Volunteer class will potentially be in early June in South Austin.  Check out our website Volunteer page as we have new information there that is a must-read. If you would like an application, click here.
