Meet Bristol: Your Smart and energetic companion for hikes and adventure!
Bristol is no ordinary pup; he`s a clever canine companion who thrives on three simple pleasures: weekend hikes, engaging games, and scratchies+relax time on the couch. His favorite? Cool morning hikes that set the tone for an exciting day ahead, filled with leisurely sniffing games and treat rewards.
This heeler mix is the complete package – house trained, experienced + love for other dogs, impressionable and eager to please, and excited to learn new tricks from his forever parent.

In return, you`ll gain the most loyal and loving dog friend imaginable. As a special bonus, Bristol comes with Friends of AAC`s training vouchers and the unwavering support of his shelter besties, the Orange Dot Crew.

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
