My story

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

In a word, Charger is a sweetheart! We don`t know much about his history, but he clearly dealt with some tough times in his young life. He`s a little shy at first, but once you take him out, he`ll flash a big, joyful smile and wag his tail with glee! He loves running around the play yard and checking in on his human friend to make sure they`re having fun too! He`s a loosh-leash walker, meaning very easy to walk. And when you leash him up, he`ll immediately offer you his paw to say hello!

We hope somebody will fall in love with this gentle, big-hearted boy and give him the home he deserves! He`s not too energetic, but he does love to get out on walks and chase toys in the yard. We think he`ll probably be pretty low-maintenance in a 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 & 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

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.
