My story

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

Meet Bambino! 🐾

This handsome ~2-year-old boy is a tall, lean young lab mix with a huge heart and excellent house manners. He’s been thriving in foster care since October and is truly a joy to host, and is ready to find his forever home! Bambino is as sweet and affectionate as they come. He is truly a big baby who loves cuddles and playtime equally. He currently lives with another dog and did well in shelter playgroup.

Bambino is a perfect house guest: well-mannered and fully crate and house trained. He’s also a quick learner and a great listener!

Bambino adores his foster sister Koda, a playful 3-year-old dog and he loves his toys. He’s friendly with new people (no stranger danger) and working on handling living downtown like a pro. He has been going on trail walks and is getting experience passing lots of other dogs in high-traffic situations living in a high-rise. He is dog-friendly and playful when not in tight leash situations.

Bambino would shine in a house, townhome, or non–high-rise apartment - ideally somewhere without constant close-quarters dog traffic. He can live with another dog and will fill your days with love, laughter, and loyalty. 💛

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
