Dancer came into AAC with 6 of her littermates in November. She’s watched many of her brothers and sisters find their forever home, and we can’t figure out why she continues to get overlooked. We are hoping that today is the last day at AAC for her, and that she finds a loving home of her own!
She is dog friendly, trainable and playful. We think she has all the traits one would want in a new pup! Her younger years of life should be filled with fun, love and stability, not a kennel at the shelter. Adopting a 1 year old dog like Dancer comes with many benefits. You will be able to experience amazing milestones together like learning new tricks and commands, going to new places and building a strong bond from her early years. Pop into AAC today and meet this playful, smart and well mannered girl to see if she is the perfect addition to your family.

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
