Oreo`s Foster Reports: `Oreo is a very sweet, healthy and energetic mix about 3 years old. Great on a leash, loves chew toys and fetch in the yard. Gets along great with other dogs and has come from a house with 4 young children. He loves strangers and will happily jump in your car. Is house and crate trained.
Oreo has crashed at many different houses in the neighborhood as his former owners realized they couldn`t take care of him anymore. Everyone in the neighborhood always comments on how sweet and happy he is to be welcomed in their home. He is currently enjoying backyard fetch sessions with his temporary foster siblings and is looking forward to finding his forever home! This good boy deserves nothing more than a good place to call home with a basket full of toys and a family that loves him. Would be a great adventure buddy for outdoor enthusiasts! He may even be able to out bench you at the gym! He would also LOVE a sibling to wrestle with in a backyard after chasing squirrels!`

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
