My story

Pecho Blanco, `White Chest`, is a charmer with his frosted face. He came in with 2 other large male dogs, one his same age named Marenzo who recently passed away, and another quite a bit younger who has since been adopted. Pecho Blanco has been quite a hit with the volunteers, staff and their fosters. He is just so enthusiastic to greet people! He is doing quite well living amongst equally spunky small foster dog siblings. Pecho Blancho`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 is full of charisma and goofy sweet smiles and as you can see, he is so photogenic! Select the ADOPT ME button to start the process of discussing specifics with his foster.

Additional adoption info

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

Go meet their pets

The Austin Animal Center is open for adoptions every day from 11:00am to 7:00pm. We're closed Christmas Day, New Year's Day and Thanksgiving Day to give our staff some time with family.
Interested adopters should come to the shelter during business hours to meet with a counselor start looking for a pet who'll be a good fit. Our counselors and volunteers are happy to help with that process.
