My story

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

Meet Dr. Seuss!

Dr. Seuss is an absolute gem and one of the most house-trained dogs at the shelter! His impeccable manners make him a joy to have around, and he’s ready to find a loving home where he can shine.

Affectionate Companion:
This sweet boy is incredibly affectionate and loves to shower his humans with love and cuddles. He’s sure to become your loyal companion and best friend in no time!

Eager Explorer:
Dr. Seuss is eager on the leash and loves to explore the great outdoors. Every walk is an adventure for him, and he’s always excited to see what’s around the next corner!

Zoomies & Chill:
After a few playful zoomies to burn off some energy, Dr. Seuss knows when it’s time to relax. He’ll happily wait at the door when he’s ready to come back inside and chill out with you. His energy comes in short bursts, making him the perfect balance of playful and laid-back.

Perfect for Any Lifestyle:
Dr. Seuss`s ability to switch between playtime and relaxation makes him a great fit for various lifestyles. Whether you’re looking for an adventurous companion or a snuggle buddy for cozy evenings, Dr. Seuss is ready to fill that role!

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
