My story

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

Toast is such a cool dog who really needs out of the shelter . As a Kelpie mix, he`s a `working` dog, meaning he really needs a job to do. When she can make the time, Toast`s shelter friend sets up an enrichment yard to keep his very smart brain engaged. Toast loves puzzle toys, snuffle mats, lickimats with peanut butter, and long-lasting bully sticks. But he`d probably love a job even more! The shelter is very stressful for Toast - he needs a home with a lot of mental engagement, a fenced in yard or space to run run run! Once he`s gotten his energy out, Toast will reward you with affection - tail wags and kisses from this guy.

Toast goes to playgroup at the shelter and lives with another pup so he can likely go to a home with a doggy sibling. Do you know someone or are you that someone who can give Toast the home he`s waiting for?

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
