My story

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

Chief has been getting rested, getting his skin needs tended to, rebuilding his strength as he's started on the healing process. His condition has already vastly improved in a few days. He's about 57 lbs, shy, quiet, and with demodex (non-contagious), also he's heart worm positive, not yet neutered and seems to be on the younger side of senior.


He has a GREAT prognosis to return to his full glory with the assistance of a loving helping hand.

Chief is very overwhelmed in the shelter environment and tends to avoid noises and human traffic. His caregiver will need to be patient and allow him to adjust at his own pace.


Due to the pneumovirus protocol in place at Austin Animal Services, dogs will be released only to dog-free homes. He is available for adoption, rescue and foster. A foster will keep him out of the shelter while he heals and finds his forever.

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
