My story

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

Get to know Xena......... a loving brindle babe!


Xena is very smart and quick learner with the help of treats. She knows sit, shake, down, and kisses. Treats and food are big motivators and help to distract her when necessary. She is low to medium energy. She does not bark a lot outside the shelter.


Spending time with Xena outside - She casually strolls on a leash but does get excited when she sees squirrels and lizards. She doesn't seem bothered passing people or other dogs at a distance. She understands "Let's go and This Way" if she gets fixated on things. Expect to see some zoomies in a backyard. She likes to chase soccer balls. She is also happy to sit outside with her human and people watch.


Spending time with Xena inside - She is house trained. She will self-entertain with toys of all kinds, not a picky girl. Give her a smoked beef bone with marrow and she is the happiest dog. Loves, loves, loves belly rubs!!! She is at ease when grooming (bath, nails, and ears).


Xena in the car - She loves car rides and is an excellent passenger. She does not jump over seats in an SUV. She will alternate looking out the window and laying down.


Xena is a great catch! Check her out!

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.
