My story

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

One of our favorite dogs 🥰 has been in a foster home getting polished up while waiting for his forever home. Santiago, Santi for short, is a great people AND dog friend and any one would be very lucky to have him 💞 His foster mom has taken great care of him and features him regularly at @rubysfosterfriends Here's just a few of his qualities:

🎀he's snuggly,

⭐he's quiet,

🎀a good boy in the car,

⭐a good boy on walks

🎀likes people,

⭐let's you know when it's time to go potty,

🎀handsome,

⭐happy to be the inside spoon

Santiago is about 60 lbs. He's in our medical sponsorship program which means an adopter gets full medical records, free preventatives AND the adoption support we already offer, a Chewy egift card and $150 future vet care support for your provider (or continue his care at our provider).

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

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.
