My story

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

Meet Carmela! A volunteer said, “ I am obsessed with little meatball Carmela. She is an actual meatball and watching her zoom around and snort and put out her kickstand and jumping in the pool is a highlight in my day!” We just know that Carmela is sure to bring you smiles and laughs, too!

Our Vet staff believes Carmela is about 2 year old, which means she is young & impressionable - you can shape and mold her behaviors, including building positive habits & reinforcement when it comes to learning new commands and house training. Still, she has a longer attention span than a baby pup, so you can bypass some of the new-puppy challenges.

She is playful, dog friendly, which means she may be compatible to live with your resident dog. Are you looking to add a chunky meatball to your family who is filled with love and playful antics? Come in today to meet this girl and then we can set up a doggy meet up with your resident dog before adoption.

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
