My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Theo is full of spunk in a smaller package! He loves to run around the back yard and is also happy to be a lounge lizard, snuggling next to you whenever possible. He’s the best cuddle bug ever and loves to be petted! If you want a bed warmer, Theo is your man! If you want to practice your Spanish, he knows commands in English and Spanish!

Have a resident dog at home? We`re happy to set up a doggie meet up.

Theo is fully vaccinated, seems healthy and fit, is heartworm negative and he`ll be neutered as part of a fee-free adoption.

Is Theo the guy you`re waiting for? Use his ADOPT ME button to send a contact inquiry to his fosters. There`s no obligation. Theo is advocated for by his fosters and his friends at ClassicCaninesATX who help make land bridges home for displaced mature dogs that are at an unfortunate crossroads in life.

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

Adoption application

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.
