Smoke is a young, happy-go-lucky Blue Lacy that`s been living it up in foster since September & is ready for his forever home!
Smoke`s foster says, `Smoke loves playing fetch (& has very impressive reflexes, often snatching the ball from the air.) He also enjoys napping after he`s gotten all his energy out, particularly when he can cuddle with his human or doggie friends. He`s also a great guard dog & loves watching our street from the window.
My favorite things about Smoke are how has a goofy personality in combo with a serious face, how affectionate he is with both people & other dogs, & that he`s a great communicator! He sits by the door when has to go out, brings me a toy when he wants to play, & climbs into my lap when he wants cuddles.
Smoke is very dog-social; not sure about cats or kids. I think he would be just fine with older kids as he LOVES humans but can be quite rambunctious when playing so maybe not the best fit for small children.
Smoke is a beautiful, athletic, loving, intelligent dog & whoever adopts him will be highly blessed! Please reach out to me (his foster) with any questions / see my IG @luca_and_pi for more videos & photos of Smoke.`

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

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.
