My story

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

Hi human friends. Woof woof, I am Chrissy! I had pneumonia which kept me away from my volunteer friends for a few weeks while I recovered, but I am so happy to be back to seeing them every day! I am healthy, up to date on my shots, and finally ready to find my forever home!

I love walks! Will you take me on some? I get so excited when it’s time to go outside and explore the world. My volunteer friends describe me as, “sweet, easy and an excellent calm and loose leash walker.” I get along with other doggies, so if you want to add me to the family as a sister to your resident dog let’s set up a doggy meet and greet at AAC to make sure we get along! I can sit on command for a tasty treat, too!

I have this little floppy prance when I get really excited on walks or sniff something new. I am dreaming of all the adventures we will go on and memories we will make. I hope you will consider adding me to your family.

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.
