Walter (formerly known as Walnut) is a delightful bundle of joy who is ready to bring endless love and laughter into your home. He has the perfect balance of playful energy and expert-level napping skills. He gets along wonderfully with other dogs, making him the ultimate canine socialite. Despite his playful antics, Walter has a softer side. He`s a certified cuddle monster who will happily hog the couch (and your heart) during snuggle sessions.
Walter would thrive in a home where he can get plenty of playtime and companionship. He enjoys outdoor activities and would love a yard to play in, but he is also content with regular walks and playtime. He is smart, eager to please, and will do almost anything for a treat (or three). He knows “sit” and is housetrained. With a little more training, Walter will be an even more well-mannered companion. He is adaptable and ready to fit right in.
If you`re looking for a dog who will bring joy, energy, and lots of love into your life, Walter is the perfect match. His playful spirit, loving nature, and ability to get along with other dogs make him an exceptional addition to any home. Plus, his comedic timing is impeccable—he`ll keep you laughing even on your toughest days.

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
