`Thank you for being a friend . . . . ` That is what all the dogs that have been paired in a kennel with Americus have to say about this young Golden Girl! That`s because she`s the bestest roomie and sweetest friend and every one of her kennel mates has been adopted or fostered. Our 2-year old girl needs a family of her own. This Boxer mix is sweet and family friendly with a tail that wags for days! She enjoys walks and is playful, but loves to cuddle and be near her people for belly rubs!
*Americus Nation is currently not living at the shelter but still available for adoption so please email asoanimaladoption@austintexas.gov for next steps, if you are interested in meeting him!* -- Did you know that we completely cover the cost of heartworm treatment? Come on in to talk to an adoption counselor today!

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
