Through no fault of his own, Frank found himself at AAC after his owner unexpectedly moved to a home where dogs are not permitted. When we met Frank, his amazing aquamarine blue eyes immediately charmed us. Frank soon stole our hearts. Frank is sweet and laid back but also full of energy for car rides, walks, running around the backyard and tugging on his rope toy. Frank is a smart dog and appears to have a good vocabulary. His favorite word is “squirrel.” He loves watching squirrels through the window. In the yard, Frank looks in the branches of each tree to see if his friends are out. He does not bark at squirrels, just watches and waits for them to come play.
Frank is a good student at school. Frank appears to be a very trainable canine. He already knows sit, down, look, wait, touch and is easily learning lots more. Frank has plenty of energy and may be a candidate for agility training. Frank enjoys car rides, especially putting his nose out the window for a good sniff. Frank loves relaxing on the couch for a football game or Dog TV. Frank is a man’s man and shadows the man of the house. He enjoys napping, pets, tummy rubs and snuggling. Franks favorite treats are marrow bones and his lick pad, but he is down for any treat. Frank looks forward to sleeping late whenever he gets a chance.
Frank is house-trained, as well as partially crate trained. AAC estimates Frank’s age at 4 years. Frank has plenty of energy for all the activities thrown at him.

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
