Annual Gala Honoree: Missy McCullough
At this year’s gala, we are proud to honor Missy McCullough, a lifelong animal advocate and founder of Animal Trustees of Austin (ATA). Widely known as the mother of animal welfare in Austin, Missy led ATA for over 20 years with unwavering dedication to affordable veterinary care. In 2016, ATA and Emancipet joined forces—merging missions, staff, and facilities to expand access to care across our community. Now part of the Emancipet team, Missy continues her compassionate work for pets and their people. Her positivity, devotion, and lifelong commitment to animals in need have left an enduring legacy in Austin and beyond.
