Friends of Austin Animal Center's adoption process

Additional adoption info

Currently, most of our adoptions will take place thru Austin Animal Center but we are here to assist you with any dog or cat you see in one of our programs. As a non profit sector of AAC, we have worked with most of these animals on a one on one basis and will do our best to match you with the right pet.

About Friends of Austin Animal Center

Friends of Austin Animal Center was formed in 2006 to support Austin Animal Center — the open intake shelter in the nation’s largest no-kill city. Our programs improve quality of life for shelter animals, help responsible owners keep their pets, and support the community’s committed foster and volunteer network. We address animal medical issues, behavioral challenges, shelter stresses, facility needs, and costs of ownership — helping the most at-risk animals find and stay in their forever homes.

Support adoption and rescue. Why go to a dog breeder, cat breeder or pet store to buy a dog or buy a cat when you can adopt?

Why should you adopt?

Dog adoption and cat adoption saves lives. Adopt a dog or adopt a cat and you'll have a friend for life.

What is the difference between adopting a dog, adopting a cat, adopting a kitten or adopting a puppy versus getting dogs for sale, cats for sale, puppies for sale or kittens for sale from a dog breeder or a cat breeder?

When someone is breeding puppies or breeding kittens, they are creating new dogs and cats who need homes. Some people are interested in a very specific breed of dog, cat, puppy or kitten and they think the only way to find that specific breed is to buy a dog for sale or buy a cat for sale from a puppy breeder or a kitten breeder. Yet animal shelters are filled with dogs and cats who must find homes.

So rather than buying a dog or puppy for sale from a dog breeder or buying a cat or kitten for sale from a cat breeder, we encourage people to adopt a dog, adopt a cat, adopt a puppy or adopt a kitten at their local animal shelter, SPCA, humane society or pet rescue group.
