My story

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

Ruby, formerly known as Miss Scarlett, is the sweetest little pup! She’s potty trained and loves the companionship of another dog. Ruby knows her name and to sit, and is learning “paw” and “lay down”. Ruby is a dream on leash. She likes to stop and smell the flowers but easily keeps pace on a run. Ruby would thrive in a house with another a dog. Ruby is crate trained for the night as well as when she’s home without supervision. Ruby has some separation anxiety when left alone, but luckily feels right at home if she’s in the house with another dog. She loves companionship and cuddles. She has yet to tear apart anything but toys and is great at sharing with other dogs. Her favorite games are tug of war and fetch. She is a high energy but low maintenance dog because she keeps herself occupied with toys and her canine companion.

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.
