Marenzo is a charmer with his frosted face. He came in with 2 other large male dogs, one his same age named Pecho Blanco, `White Chest`, and another quite a bit younger who has since been adopted. Marenzo and his zany brother Pecho Blanco are quite a hit with the volunteers, staff and their fosters. They are just so enthusiastic to greet people! They are doing quite well living amongst equally spunky small foster dog siblings. Marenzo`s wellness care is being handled by his volunteer friends at ClassicCaninesATX through a local vet partner so full records of recent history are available to his adopter. Pecho Blancho and Marenzo are full of charisma and goofy sweet smiles and as you can see, they are so photogenic! We would really love for the two brothers to get a home together because they entertain eachother as much as they can entertain their people. Select the ADOPT ME button to start the process of discussing specifics with their foster.

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
