191 days is a long time to wait, but Chicharrón (6007) hasn’t lost his sparkle. He’s an affectionate dog who’s just as happy exploring the world on walks as he is curled up beside you for a nap. He’s house-trained, gentle, and has great manners once he’s out of the shelter.

On a recent outing, Chicharrón hopped right into the car, rode politely, and showed off his sweet personality in a volunteer’s home. He explored calmly, played with toys, and then settled in for snuggles and belly rubs.

He enjoys dog friends with a compatible play style and will need to have a meet and greet with any dogs already at home.

If you’re looking for a playful, people-loving buddy, this boy is ready to go home today.

Meet Chicharrón, and hundreds of other adoptable pets, any day at Austin Animal Center from 11–7!

Nellie (13167) has come a long way since arriving with her kittens back in August.

This one-year-old Desperate House Cat started out as a community cat, caring for her babies outdoors before finding safety at the shelter. Even then, she was gentle and easy to handle.

Nellie is shy at first and doesn’t love the hustle and bustle of shelter life. We think she would do best in a quiet home. Once she warms up, she enjoys gentle pets, cozy spots, and might even claim your lap as her favorite place to be.

She may do well with another cat after slow introductions, but she’d be perfectly happy as your one and only pet.

Adoption fees for her and other Desperate House Cats are waived. You can meet them any day from 11am-7pm at Austin Animal Services!

Remember, leash laws apply to all dogs.

Keep them leashed (unless you’re in a designated off-leash area), and have a safe, happy Halloween! 🎃

We're over capacity, and dogs like Brandy that enter our shelter are now living in pop-up crates in the conference room.

BRANDY HAS FOUND A HOME, opening another spot for another pet in need.

Every adoption helps us move one step closer to emptying those crates and getting dogs into homes, where they belong. Our staff and volunteers are doing everything possible to keep our pups safe and comfortable, but through a wire crate—it’s become difficult on everyone.

Come meet hundreds of adoptable pets at Austin Animal Services, any day from 11 a.m.-7 p.m.

It’s National Cat Day, and who better to celebrate with, than Desperate House Cat Percy (13037)!

Four-year-old Percy is a calm companion. He’s quiet, gentle, and happiest in a peaceful home where he can be the only pet and have all the love (and sunbeams) to himself.

In foster care, uses his scratching post and litter box faithfully, sits politely for nail trims, and loves his daily brushing sessions. His favorite hobby? Stretching out in a sunbeam and watching “cat TV” through the window.

He can be shy at first, but once he trusts you, he’s a total love-bug.

Come meet Percy and the other Desperate House Cats during our adoption event on Saturday, November 1, from 11–5 at Austin Animal Center!

While puppies often have higher chances of finding a home, dogs like Nova ( #15882) wait longer for their chance—often quiet, gentle, and overlooked.

Medium-sized adult dogs can spend months in the shelter simply because they’re not tiny or new. But they have just as much love and personality to give. 💛

When you visit , choose to see the dogs who’ve been waiting, adopt or foster a medium dog today.
