My story

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

I am going to write a little about myself in hopes of finding my forever home! Although I am very comfortable where I am at, I want a place that will be mine forever! For starters, I am awesome! Really! I am about a year and a half old, and I am a black lab mix. You’d think I like water, being that half of me is lab, but nope! Maybe someday, but certainly not now. My foster mom said that when she got me, I was in a shell, but I do not know what that means. She said I may be in my shell when you first take me home, but within a few days, I will be out of it again. I do take a little bit to warm up to people, but when I do, watch out for my wagging butt and puppy energy! I get so happy and playful. Gosh, I could play with my foster sister (dog) all day long. We love to chase each other and play once we catch each other. I would be the perfect addition to a family with dogs, but maybe not cats. I do not know if I am kid friendly, but I couldn’t imagine not loving them – as I love all humans I have come across.

I am just now learning to play with toys and I seem to like cloth squeaky toys the best. I am very gentle with them and like to tease my foster sister with them by hanging it out my mouth and having her chase me - chase is my favorite game. I am what you may call a cuddle bug. I LOVE to cuddle in every teeny tiny little spot. When I am not cuddling, I am following my foster mom everywhere. I am very smart and am learning a lot of tricks and commands. I just learned to sit the other day! I am still trying to learn not to jump on my mom when she gets home, I just get so excited I can’t help myself!

Most of the time I am mellow and curious. I am house trained and love my doggie door – although I was scared of it at first. Oh, and I am the best loose leash walker you could ever come across and I absolutely love my walk time. My foster dog sister and I walk so well together. The only thing I do not like while on walks is if other dogs bark at me.
I am a really good boy and want to spoil you with my juicy kisses and big brown loving eyes. I would bring so much joy and happiness to your home and I have so much love to give you. I cannot wait to meet you!

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

Adoption application
