My story

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

Santiago hasn't had an easy life. Despite the challenges he's faced, he's the sweetest, most laid-back, friendly companion you could ask for. While volunteers had him in a big play yard filled with toys and even a pool, he chose to hang out with the people, instead of exploring all the fun stuff around him. It really shows how much he values human connections. It's time to catch up for a few lost years and have a simpler dogs' life as part of the indoor family. Ready to lift a guy up to a new level of existence? He's also starting to test out dog play groups, and is sharing his kennel space with a calm shepherd lady who respects his space. Overall, Santiago is an easy-going buddy who's easy to please and engage with, and one you know you will be making a difference in the life of. Come check him out. He's advocated for by his friends and fans including ClassicCaninesATX.

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.
