Requested: The honor of being your girl and having a home to call her own… Miss Bagel loves easy home living. A quiet, simple life suits her just fine. She’s happy with a comfy spot for naps, and if you would like to indulge her, she’s watching her figure of course, but some favs are liver treats, and safe, healthy chew treats. Affections and belly rubs really makes her heart sing. Miss Bagel will use her good home manners to stay home alone quietly while you’re away and she’s fully house trained like you would expect from a mature lady. When you return home, she’ll be waiting as your loyal friend and best listener, so expect to tell her all about your day. Need a reason to get out for walks? She’ll be happy to help you meet your goals because that keeps her in fit form too. She may just be the best choice you make for an easy de-stressor in life. People of all ages appreciate mature dogs because they meld easily into their lifestyle without requiring the energy output or decade-long commitment a young pup would need. Give Bagel a try by reaching out to her foster provider through the ADOPT ME button which starts an inquiry and discussion.
Bagel is advocated for by her many shelter fans including ClassicCaninesATX who provide her wellness care through a local clinic. We take the guesswork out of her health status. Full medical records are available so an adopter can simply take over management of her care at our clinic partner, or they may transfer her records to their own vet provider. And all of this with a no fee adoption.

Our shelter has more than 500 available cats and dogs every day! For pets at the shelter: Adoptions must be completed in-person at the shelter. AAC is open for adoption walk-ins every day from 11 a.m. – 7 p.m. A shelter pet’s availability can change at any time, so we recommend choosing a few favorites. For pets in foster: Go to www.AustinAnimalCenter.org to find the pet's profile and click that pet's pink “Adopt Me” button. This will prompt you to complete an adoption questionnaire. Submitting an application does not hold the animal for you.
We have dozens of animals that won't be listed online yet because they're still in their stray hold period, but can be pre-adopted at the shelter in case their owner doesn't come for them.
Adoption Fees:
$80 cats & kittens up to 6 years old
$80 dogs 6 months to 6 years, 30 lbs and up
$100 dogs under 30 lbs and/or under 6 months
$30 small animals
No fee for senior pets 7 years and older
