My story

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

Meet Lariat!

Lariat is a wonderful companion who is ready to find his forever home. He’s incredibly well-behaved in the car, remaining quiet and calm during rides. House-trained and adaptable, he doesn’t react to barking neighbors, making him a great choice for a peaceful household (or those with not-so-peaceful neighbors).

One of Lariat`s favorite pastimes is playing in the water, and he enjoys independent playtime, often checking in with you to make sure you’re nearby. He also loves a good game of fetch, and will bring the ball/toy back!

On the leash, Lariat is a dream to walk, making outings enjoyable for everyone. His affectionate nature means he’s always ready for some extra love and attention. If you’re looking for a loyal friend who embodies both independence and affection, Lariat might just be the perfect match for 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

Go meet their pets

The Austin Animal Center is open for adoptions every day from 11:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. Please note, Adoption and Pet Resource Center lines close at 6:00 p.m. We're closed Christmas Day, New Year's Day and Thanksgiving Day to give our staff some time with family.
Interested adopters should come to the shelter during business hours to meet with a counselor start looking for a pet who'll be a good fit. Our counselors and volunteers are happy to help with that process.
