Meet Lady, a lovely 9-year-old Great Dane mix with a sleek black coat and a frosted face that adds to her charm. Her big brown eyes light up when she’s with people, which is her favorite place to be! Lady’s energy is perfectly balanced—whether you’re up for an adventure or just hanging out, she’s right there with you.
She’s a great car rider, doesn’t mind loud noises, and is a model house guest. Lady is house-trained and always lets you know when she needs to go outside—no accidents here! She’s also independent, so she’s fine being left alone when you need to step out.
Lady is one smart cookie! She already knows “sit” and “stay,” and she’s eager to learn more. With her love of treats (especially green beans) and her playful spirit, teaching her new tricks will be a joy. She’s also a huge fan of affection—give her pets, ear rubs, and scratches, and you’ll be her best friend forever.
Lady loves people of all ages and would prefer to be the only dog in the house. She’s also a water lover, so expect some excitement if there’s a chance to splash around! Lady enjoys her walks and is good on a leash. Despite her age, Lady is young at heart, with a tail that never stops wagging. If you’re looking for a sweet, loyal companion who’s as loving as she is low-maintenance, Lady is the one for you!

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
