My story

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

His name is Chewbaca but all his staff and volunteer friends call him Chewy. Between his beautiful merle coat, pointy ears, and soft brown eyes Chewy quickly became a staff/volunteer favorite! Chewy likes to meet new humans gently but is cuddly and so so wiggly with his friends. The quickest way to Chewy’s heart is toys, hotdogs, more toys, and more hotdogs!

Chewy’s great leash manners make him a perfect walking buddy and his adorable zoomies in the yard are always full of charm. Chewy’s staff friends describe him as “so dang precious” and “so sweet.”

Have a dog at home? Chewy goes to playgroup at the shelter and is labeled as a solid coexister aka a real chill guy.

Ready to add some love to your life? Chewy is certain to put a smile on your face. Visit him at Austin Animal Services today!

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
