My story

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

✨ Meet Stax — the ultimate couch and cuddle buddy.

This handsome Shepherd-Cattle Dog mix (DNA in photos!) has spent over a year at the shelter, but outside those walls, he’s pure gold. Stax is house-trained, calm, and melts into a snuggly, affectionate companion once he’s in a home. Volunteers call him “an utter delight” and “one of the easiest dogs here.”

🐾 Stax’s Highlights

  • House-trained and calm free-roamer ✅
  • Gentle with kids and friendly with people 💛
  • Loves stuffies, snacks, and squirrel watching 🐿️
  • Walks well in quiet spaces (can be vocal if passing dogs) 🐾
  • A+ cuddle buddy who loves quiet, cozy homes 🛋️

Stax is also eligible for VIP Adoption, which gives prospective adopters a 30-day trial period to welcome him into their home and make sure it’s a great long-term match. It’s the perfect way to get to know this big-hearted boy and see just how easy he is to love.

✨ If you’ve been waiting for a calm, affectionate, ready-to-join-your-life kind of dog — this is your sign. Stax is ready to go home.

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.
