He is well-behaved in the car, sitting in the back seat and enjoying the ride.

He is easily directed on a leash and follows commands well, making him a pleasure to walk.
Updog is cuddly and loves to play fetch, especially in the water. He is very engaging and enjoys spending time in yards, where he can run around and have fun. Updog is very house trained and knows commands, showcasing his intelligence and obedience.
Overall, Updog would thrive in a loving and active home where he can continue to explore, play, and receive plenty of attention and affection.

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
