Very well maintained facility. Always eager to get more volunteers in order to provide the best care for all the animals. Very excited to go back to do volunteer work as well as adopt another fur baby one day!

In January of 2021, I adopted a dog that most would consider to have very difficult behavior. His intake form listed him as a red dot, which I assume is the most unfriendly, aggressive label they give dogs at the shelter. Rather than give up on this dog, they worked with him for 8 months and made an effort to get him in a foster home outside of the stressful shelter environment. When their hard work paid off and the dog showed signs of being willing to trust people, I found him on their website and adopted him. If you can’t already tell by the pictures, he is the happiest boy and has been to 23 states and 2 countries - traveling with me. He’s still not a huge fan of strangers, and is a little too good at being a watch dog, but I wouldn’t trade him for any other companion. It would have been easy for this shelter to give up on him and I’m sure many other shelters would have, but because they didn’t I now have the most wonderful dog. Couldn’t be more grateful for the staffs’ time and patience so that I could eventually find Jasper.

Bella and Camilla are by far the most compassionate, caring, and knowledgeable employees. I highly recommend these two ladies for their expertise on adoption for your future fur baby. Thank you ladies for all that you do, and your help with my friend’s kitten. We appreciate you!

Thanks! Your review is awaiting moderation.

You never know, they might. It's a shelter for abandoned and unwanted pets. Go have a look at the dogs, maybe you'll see a German Shepherd or maybe you'll see something else you will want. Take a couple of dogs out for a walk while you're there, the dogs love the attention.

Atomic Clan | Nov 1, 2019

I've seen them there before but Maciej is right. You have to check the website. I would suggest going there in person because sometimes the new dogs aren't posted for a few days, and by then they're adopted.

EMANCIPET.org can do sterilization and sterilization at low cost. Call them to ask about the mobile clinic or to make an appointment at one of their places. I think I paid only $ 25.00 when I took my dog, but in some areas it's free. The main location is behind the Austin Animal Shelter on Levander Loop Road.

The shelter will also post pictures of animals when they arrive, usually within an hour or two. Go to their website, click on los a pet, specify a dog, and what other details you have. You can sort results by the amount of time the animal has been there. Good luck, I hope you find your dog.

Hi! I know this might sound like a stupid question but can you adopt monkey's here or do you know where in Austin I could adopt a monkey?

Pikamon101 Artist and Gamer | Nov 1, 2018
Alessandra Paul | Nov 1, 2018

You can't adopt a monkey in this location since it's an animal hospital. You could try some rescues but monkeys are very hard to find in Texas. The ones you find don't necessarily come from an ethical and good place.

Any suggestions of where I can take my adult dogs I can't no longer have at home?

Yajaira Diaz | Nov 1, 2018
Sheritta Nesbitt | Nov 1, 2018

You will need to make an appointment with Austin Animal Center in order to surrender your pets. Keep in mind that while Austin is a "no-kill" city it doesn't mean that your dogs will not be at risk of euthanasia. "No-kill" is defined as 90% or higher live outcome rates which means they could possibly still euthanize 10% of the animals that go through the shelter. Typically animals are only euthanized due to health or behavior issues though, and Austin Animal Center's numbers are usually around 96% live outcome. Good luck with your dogs. I'm sorry you have to give them up.

Can you adopt pets there? If so, how much do most of the dog cost?

chinchin | Nov 1, 2018
Debra Deiters | Nov 1, 2018

Unless a discounted sale day the fees are typically $75. Which includes a spay/neuter, vaccinations, microchip implant, and if a dog a nylon collar and engraved tags. Check out the website under Adoption for more details.

Owners die not come back for their two Sweet pit brothers and I cannot keep much longer, can I find so.eone that will be able to give them more attention?

Lisa Strieker | Nov 1, 2018
Sheritta Nesbitt | Nov 1, 2018

If you bring the dogs into Austin Animal Center (and you live in Austin or Travis County) they will take them as a surrender. Explain that the owner passed away (they might need proof-an obituary or funeral program/booklet will work) and you tried rehoming them but couldn't. They will work on finding them a home, but it cannot be guaranteed that they will stay together (just so you know before you bring them in). Good luck!

Is center able to take more pets during Harvey's rain or are they at capacity?

Debra Deiters | Nov 1, 2017
Katina Bohrer | Nov 1, 2017

The center has not yet sent out any communication about being at capacity, however, it is always helpful if the finders of animals are willing to hold on to them for a few days (especially if you found the pet in your neighborhood). Call 311 to file a found animal report. If you are an owner wishing to relinquish your pet, you need to set up an appointment - call 311 and ask to be transferred to the Austin Animal Center.

Hello, on my way to work I see a dog in poor condition, can I take him in and take him to this shelter?

Abril adriana Morales salinas | Aug 2, 2022
Abby Davis | Aug 2, 2022

Normally you can. The shelter is very full but I think they take stray animals in Monday-Friday.

While holding strays for a couple days, do they try and locate the owners?

taylor farris | Jul 3, 2022
Tammy Alderman | Jul 3, 2022

If they are not chipped then all they can do is search the area they were found in but due to short staff, all they can do is post a pic on their lost and found page and hope the owner looks for them. Some go to foster care with the understanding someone might claim. AAC is a no kill shelter.

do you/how much do you charge to drop off 5 puppies?

JULIA MATA | May 4, 2022
Wilde Parry | May 4, 2022

Make an intake appointment. I don't believe they charge, but they will help the puppies get spayed/neutered, vaccinated, microchipped, and into good homes. If you rehome them yourself, PLEASE have them spayed/ neutered first.

We cannot use carpeted cat trees because they can't be sanitized between cats. Find a friend or neighbor for that, but we can use litter boxes for sure!

However the Two Sisters I did get were brought back in less than a week and now they have a forever home the black one is named Hecate and the tortoise shell is named Sparkle because she just shines neither one can stop licking me I don't know if they are grateful thirsty or just tasting me in case I suddenly died and can no longer operate a can opener LOL either way everybody's happy

My elderly mom's 12 yr old chihuahua maybe had a seizure or something and she can't afford to take to a vet..we really dont want too but do you know where we can take him to euthinize him? We don't want him to suffer

Melissa Ramirez | Oct 31, 2020
Margaret Schwarz (Peggy) | Oct 31, 2020

A vet should euthinize. No one else. A vet can also figure out why your dog is seizing. Maybe he/she has years of qualuty life left. Call Emancipet. Budgeted for seniors. Traveling clinic does shots, etc. Call around for a vet who can help you.

Many people use apps like Nextdoor and Craigslist to let neighbors know their pet is missing, also. If I find a cat or dog, I would take the animal's picture and post it on Nextdoor in their Lost and Found category and wait a day for replies. I have found two owners of cats that way.

How can i speak to someone about my dog she was picked up by animal control shes a pit im afraid for her

Stacy Schmidt | Nov 1, 2018
Sheritta Nesbitt | Nov 1, 2018

Go to the austin animal center, that is the only way you can help your dog.

My neighbors are leaving their dogs out all day, with only one dish for 3 dogs. They bark and whine all day. They don’t get home until later in the day, then don’t let them in. Seriously I’m not a dog lover, but this is cruel. What to do?

Heidi Taylor | Nov 1, 2018

Contact Austin Animal Center. Let them be the judge if this is a case of neglect. Thank you for being aware and concerned about all living creatures :)

If you were to bring in feral cats, they would be released again in your neighborhood as they will be unable to be adopted.

The Aistin Animal Center staff is usually very busy so leave a phone message or email any questions. If referring to a found 311 report use the report number given to you in your communications Once AAC receives the report from 311 and process it they will post a description if it is a live found pet and if you can privide a picture for them to include in their post.

I am ready to adopt a dog, but I have to have one that sheds very, very little due to my husband's allergies. Do you currently have any dogs like that at the shelter? I would like to take advantage of the DogXDogWest program. Thank you.

Sherri Defesche | Nov 1, 2018
Nelanne “Loni” Guidry | Nov 1, 2018

Your best bet would be to go to the shelter, but keep in mind that not all available dogs are in the shelter. Many are being fostered in homes. If they don't have exactly what you're looking for on site, ask about the dogs in foster care. Another thing to keep in mind is these people are all about saving animals. They may not be experts on breed characteristics. Do your own research on what breed of dog sheds the least. Also keep in mind that these animals, like people, need time to adjust to new situations. The most important thing to have ready when you take an animal into your home is your commitment to the animal. A little extra hair or an accident on the floor is no reason to turn an animal's life upside down. If you're not ready for a new member of your family, please don't go.

Perla Azmitia | Nov 1, 2018
Sheritta Nesbitt | Nov 1, 2018

If you surrendered the pets, there is a possibility they have already been adopted. You will need to speak to Customer Service, but if you want them back, i would recommend going in asap, because they could get adopted while you are waiting.

Jessica Danna | Nov 1, 2018
Sheritta Nesbitt | Nov 1, 2018

You can call and ask, they will explain what it could be. It could be many things though-minor shedding, to a skin allergy. Have you taken him to a vet yet? You should have signed something saying you would need to take him to a vet within 10 days to make sure everything is ok with his health, as it is impossible to thoroughly vet all of the animals that go through the shelter, especially if they appear to be healthy (i'm assuming he did at the time of the adoption). Good luck, and thank you for adopting.

How much are all the vaccines?

Abigail Ugarte | Nov 1, 2018
Sheritta Nesbitt | Nov 1, 2018

They are included in the cost of the adoption. If you are looking for a vet, Austin Animal Center does not treat pets from the public, only the animals that belong to the shelter. However, if you are looking for low cost spay/neuter, vaccines and preventative, Emancipet is located in a building at the same location (grey building, green roof) and has multiple locations around Austin-- as well as Thrive vet. Both of these clinic chains have quality service for low price.

How many days is the austin animal center supposed to hold a do before adopting out or sending to other shelters?

Adrienne PierceKnowles | Nov 1, 2017
Sheritta Nesbitt | Nov 1, 2017

Texas law states 72 hours, so on the 4th day of their stay, they become city property and can be adopted. Now if we have a line of communication with the owners, we will extend that hold for up to ten days, and sometimes beyond that if need be, but that's only under special circumstances.
