Get involved. Spay and Neutering for stray cats is 20$ or free. Dogs get so much more help then cats. Spay and neuter your animals and stop the over population which leads to gross living conditions, abuse, starving and suffering which includes all the above. Be a part of the solution and not the problem. Don't buy a pet, adopt. You want a pure breed xxx, don't do it. There is a rescue that you can get the dog or cat you want from. Vet them first. Stop the breeding of animals. The shelters are over run. Stop breeding animals and buying from breeders. It's illegal in Texas now.

Go for it. Remember to fix them. It seems it doesn't matter how old they're for the male. Plus it may calm them down. But watch the weight once their fixed, I've been told. Enjoy them not matter the age.

Can I just go into th Humane society and walk dogs, or what do I need to do?

You should see about volunteering at their website or go in and ask for someone to help you with the process directly

How long after choosing a kitten would I have to wait before taking them home? And also I'm planning on adopting one the week before Thanksgiving so how would that timing work around the holidays, including fees for keeping them there extra days?

Emma Fendesack | Nov 1, 2019
Emma Fendesack | Nov 1, 2019

We're not going out of town for Thanksgiving, we're doing it specifically on that weekend so we have enough time to introduce the new kitten to our current cat. Also I already talked to someone there about boarding them and they say they keep them up to 3-5 days after they're ready to go home and it's a certain amount of money for each day but I forgot. But thanks for letting me know when they get spayed!

Is the public still able to come and see the animals?

Phoenix God | Oct 31, 2020
Kelsey Kendrick | Oct 31, 2020

They are not allowing the public in currently. You are still able to adopt an animal at the time, but it's all no contact. I believe they are doing a foster to adopt program currently. Their website does say by appointment only.

I lost my dog Thursday, I'm new in Austin. Where can I check if the pound picked up my dog or not??? Please someone.

Sophia Martinez | Oct 31, 2020
CDS | Oct 31, 2020

You can call 311 and they should be able to answer your questions. I would also suggest calling the dog pound closest to you. If your dog has the chip they can also help you find it. You can also view all the dogs at each of the dog pounds through the individual websites. You can also send them pictures of your dog and they will notify you if they find it. I'm sorry your dog is lost and I truly hope he or she gets back to you.

Emancipet can do it for free or at a very low cost. In the Austin area there are also free mobile clinics that absolutely do it for free for Austin "travis county" residents. You have to get there very early though, will be in line for a long time usually and expect to pick your pet up later that day. I hope that helps.

Delwin Goss | Nov 1, 2019

You can set up a surrender consultation with tbe City of Austins Animal Services Department. You will have to work out a date to surrender him. They are full so it might be a month or two out. As for AHS? You have to call and set up a behaivioral assesment appointment. They do charge a surrender fee. It used to be around $75. If its a small dog and tbe pet is very friendly. There are a number of animalrescue groups in the Central Texas area. Thier acceptance for surrender depends on a number of things. For more information on the rescue groups Google search Austin Area Animal Rescues and contact any number of them. FYI Austin claims to be a No Kill City, but that translates into "we have policies in place to keep animals from being euthanized in our shelter. Austin instead allows them to die slow and horrible deaths dumped on the street or out in the county. They adopt out pets for free to homelss and adopters convicted of animal cruelty

Dayana M | Nov 1, 2019
Delwin Goss | Nov 1, 2019

Austin Humane Society is a private nonprofit. Normally you have to set up an appointment for behaivioral and health assesment and they charge a small surrender fee to help cover thier operating expenses. You can drop off strays at the City Animal Center but they arent very picky about adopters. They often do free dog giveaways and adopt to anyone sober enough to fill out an application. Several months ago the local newspaper reported they adopted a dog to some one convicted of animal cruelty and animal neglect. Please spay/neuter ypur cats and dogs. They make babies much faster than we can find good homes for them

Veterinarians can hold your dog for a less fee than most kennels. Or do you have a neighbor you could ask? AHS is an animal shelter that seeks to find permanent homes for pets given up by their owners. They don't operate as a kennel for people going on trips. Sorry. This is one reason to have good neighbors! They help you, you help them. Problem solved. Good luck.

I always hate to say no, but AHS is an animal shelter. We house, feed, give veterinarian care to, play with and hang out with our rescued cats and dogs, walk our dogs and welcome donations to help us save more animal lives by finding homes for our rescued dogs and cats. But you can look up animal groomers or ask your vet if they can bathe your cat for a small fee.

do you put down dogs and what is the fee to do it.

Ricardo Luna | Nov 1, 2019
Ruth Christianson | Nov 1, 2019

No, AHS saves lives and finds homes for the dogs that people surrender to them. If your pet is healthy and not so sick that euthanasia is advised, you might consider a rescue shelter that will try to rehome your pet. Otherwise, take the dog to your veterinarian. Fees will vary.

No. We only take pets to re-home them permanently in another home. Boarding facilities do board pets. There are many listed online and probably one in your neighborhood. And also your pet veterinarian usually can board pets. Also, there are pet sitters who come to your home to feed your dogs and make sure they get walked.

I'm planning on getting a kitten from here but I was wondering if after I adopt the kitten, do I still need to take it to the vet before introducing it to my home/other animals?? Or are the vaccinations that they provide enough? Thank you!

Emma Fendesack | Nov 1, 2019
Ruth Christianson | Nov 1, 2019

The vet at the Austin Humane Society does check for obvious signs of illnesses and they won't put any kitten or cat up for adoption if they are ill. They do spay/neuter the kitten and give them their shots. To be clear about what they do or don't do for the kitten you plan to adopt, ask the adoption staff any questions you have at the time of adoption of the kitten. They can give you more accurate info. And, they do recommend you not adopt an animal if your current pets are not likely to welcome a new kitten. Some dogs, for example chase cats or anything that moves. Some older cats also might feel they need to establish dominance and be mean or if they are older, they may fall victim to the new, possibly bossy kitty. Sometimes vaccinations are not what determines the success of your plan to adopt a kitten. Been there!!

No humane society accepts pocket pets or exotic pets. You might try a wildlife rescue program or an exotic pet store.

Do you teacup chihuahuas for adoption

Antahony | Nov 1, 2018
Jacob | Nov 1, 2018

No sir, I do not. The Humane Societies selection of dogs for adoption changes daily and I would suggest calling or visiting for an account of current adoptable pets.

Are any of the dogs trained? Like potty trained?

Karina Amador | Nov 1, 2018
Ashley Bethke | Nov 1, 2018

Some of the dogs that are housed at AHS come housetrained and have basic command skills. However, as with the stress of any change in environment there will be an acclamation period for these guys to adjust to a new routine. Some dogs come with no prior training and a team of amazing volunteers try to get those guys working on house training first. The key to any successful adoption is patience, understanding and time. More often than not these dogs (and cats) just need to be shown that someone loves them and won't give up on them. Things tend to come easier for a new owner who is actively trying to build a bond between themselves and their new family member.

How do you train a counter surfer

Tiffani Walker | Nov 1, 2018
Bubby Rodgers | Nov 1, 2018

There are many ways. You can train them just by sounds. Not by words. Thats what I do. Like when I would growl very low mine knows something up. Protect me. But ask them at the shelter. Just love him and alot will fall into place. Good luck. If I can help just let me know. Lonnie

Hi, My daughter just joined the Navy. She has been stationed and cannot take the love of her life, Douglas, a 2 year old DSH orange kitty, with her. We would love to actually find him a home and not have to put him in the shelter. Ideas??

Austin is a no kill city and so he would be safe at a shelter if that was the only option. Generally he should be returned from where he was apldopted from. All surrenders are done by apt if she adopted from a animal facility and any reputable breeder would allow you to return him to them. However because the kitty is your daughters and not yours that complicates the surrender because they need permission from your daughter.

do you have obedience classes for dogs at your location? if you do know i can find obedience classes in north austin?

Nell Foley | Nov 1, 2018
Jacob | Nov 1, 2018

I do not have any, you are asking Google, not AHS. AHS is an animal shelter, not a dog training school. For best results, read a book and train your dog yourself.

Can I get my puppies shots here?

Chelsea Fryar | Nov 1, 2018
Ashley Bethke | Nov 1, 2018

AHS does not offer veterinary care to the public. I would suggest looking into VCA Animal Hospital or Emancipet.

How old do you have to be to adopt an animal? My mom wanted a kitten/buddy because of a recent accident but I don't know if I'm old enough. I wanted to surprise her and get her one of the kittens that need a home.

Premade Tea | Nov 1, 2018
Jacob | Nov 1, 2018

I suggest calling them and asking them directly, 17 in Texas and you are an adult. Just be able to prove where you live, pet deposit if you rent, income etc. Maybe just tell your mom that you already paid for the kitten and she just has to sign for it

Monica Dones | Nov 1, 2018
Gagan Toor | Nov 1, 2018

No, we almost never have pure breed puppies. Most of the puppies we have are mixed breed and go quickly. They normally have higher adoption fees then adult dogs.

Gagan Toor | Nov 1, 2018

Puppies come and go quickly. Best to check their website for what's available. Pure bred puppies are rare regardless.

April Ainsworth | Nov 1, 2017

They are open till 7 pm everyday except on Sundays when they close at 5 pm. Special events may also affect hours. Harvey dogs are also impacting adoption hours.

How long does it usually take to adopt a cat?

Miranda Ortiz | Apr 4, 2022
Kelley J | Apr 4, 2022

When I went in to adopt a cat recently, it took about an hour. Partly because I had to wait while they helped other folks, and partly because there's just quite a bit of paperwork involved.
