My story

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

Sloth lost his home due to his owner`s change of circumstances. He arrived with just 1 owner and an older home friend, Marzi A917989. He lived indoors and is both outdoor potty trained and paper trained. Although he likes walks and toys, his absolute favorite thing is simply sitting near, or snuggling with, his person. He learned all his good home manners already, like staying alone 4-8 hours at a time free roaming in the house, taking baths like good boy, and learning his Sit,Down,Come, Shake / paw. He`s not yet lived with other dogs besides Marzi, or children, or cats, but with all time comes opportunity. We hope you`ll come meet this adorable medium sized boy who will brighten your outlook. He`s heart worm negative and neutered and ready to find his next calling in life. He`s available with or without his friend Marzi.

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
