My story

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

Stetson is a resilient, kind hearted and strong pup. He got to AAC as a stray dog. His finder spent a few days with him before he got here and reported that he knows Sit commands, is playful and friendly.

Staff & Volunteers certainly agree. Scroll through his pictures to the end where you will see his playful nature come out. Running around in the play yard, or playing with a stuffed animal toy or bone are sure to make him happy.
When it comes to other dogs, Stetson is a social man! He lives with another dog at the shelter currently, and participates in playgroup. If you have a resident dog and are looking for a little brother, Stetson may be the perfect fit. To ensure compatibility, our staff will host a doggy meet up with your resident dog at AAC.

One year old pups like Stetson offer the opportunity to still shape and mold their behaviors, and to create a strong bond and instill positive habits. At one year old, he has a longer attention span than a baby pup, and has already demonstrated his aptitude for learning commands, so you can bypass some of the new-puppy challenges. Still, you will get to witness the exciting milestones of his growth, like learning tricks, exploring new places, and making a lifetime bond together.

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 & kittens up to 6 years old
$80 dogs 6 months to 6 years, 30 lbs and up
$100 dogs under 30 lbs and/or under 6 months
$30 small animals
No fee for senior pets 7 years and older
