My story

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

Quin is a gentle, shy, incredibly sweet dog who has been through far more than most pups should — and yet he remains soft, playful, and eager to connect with people. Volunteers describe him as easy to leash, easy to walk, and a joy to spend time with. He enjoys treats, learns quickly, and loves relaxing on the couch or exploring outside.


Before coming to the shelter, Quin lived peacefully with his finders’ resident dogs and has shown no dog reactivity while at the shelter. He never fails to greet volunteers with wagging softness and calm manners. Once he feels safe, his personality opens up — he’s playful, affectionate, and loves showing off his tricks.


Quin is treat-motivated and appears to be house-trained. While he starts his walks with enthusiastic pulling, he settles into an easy pace after a while. He can be a little shy at first, especially in noisy areas, and may be sensitive to strangers reaching into his space, so he’ll do best with someone who can let him warm up gently at his own pace.


Quin would thrive with:

✔ A calm, patient home

✔ Adults or older teens who respect his space

✔ A resident dog who enjoys soft, friendly company (meet-and-greets available!)

✔ Positive reinforcement and predictable routines


If you already have a dog, our behavior team can help set up a meet & greet to make sure it’s a great fit.


Quin is a truly good dog who has handled life's highs and lows with remarkable grace. Come meet him — you’ll be amazed by how much sweetness and heart he brings to the moment.

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 up to 6 years old
$80 dogs 6 months to 6 years, 30 lbs and up
$100 kittens up to 6 months
$120 dogs under 30 lbs and/or under 6 months
No fee for senior pets 7 years and older

Adoption application

Go meet their pets

The Austin Animal Center is open for adoptions every day from 11:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. Please note, Adoption and Pet Resource Center lines close at 6:00 p.m. 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.
