My story

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

King is a sweet lil charmer who wears his smiles like a badge. Although he`s about 70 lbs, he`s shorter statured and very solid and fit which makes him compact. He`s a perfect leash walker, very easy and he always passes all the nearby dogs while minding his own business. He`s such a very good boy and bonus, he`s SUPER house trained (like a tank) and he likes to cuddle. There`s nothing more to say except `when are you going to get here to meet him?` He`s advocated for by all his friends and fans including ClassicCaninesATX who help build bridges home for mature dogs that are stuck at a fork in the road of life due to a hardship. Don`t delay when a sweet shelter dog could be sleeping comfortably at home instead of in a kennel.

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

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.
