Ready? Let's go!

Dog of the Month

Tessa

Are you ready to go? My name is Tessa, and I'm a young and exuberant Bull Terrier mix who likes to be on the move! I'm a sleek, healthy girl, and at about 40 lbs I probably won't get much bigger. I really love to ZOOM around the field up here and play fetch with stuffed toys and tennis balls. I'm fast, playful, and smart. I'm looking for an experienced dog owner who will enjoy training and playing with me. We'll rock! I still need to polish my manners a bit, but that's where you come in! If you're looking for an active companion, come check out Tessa!

Cat of the Month

Mister

Boy is my name formal. Must come from the fact that I am the spitting image of Morris, the cat. (I'll bet they call him "Mister" on the set for his commercials) I am a singer, not too much or too loud but I do like to communicate. I find that my music soothes the savage human. I have not met Morris but he probably does not like to play and be held like I do. And, I know for a fact that no one gives better nose kisses. Can I give you one before we go home to our house?

Adopting an animal at the Austin Humane Society is a simple process, and we have a dedicated staff of Adoption Counselors to help you through the process.

How to Adopt an Animal at AHS

1. Browse the animals online or just stop in during our shelter hours.

2. Get to know the animal. Play with them, take them for a quick walk, or just sit with them.

3. Talk to your Adoption Counselor about the animal---their personality, their history, what to expect, etc.

4. Once you've decided to adopt, schedule a time to pick them up. (Of course, we have to spay/neuter and vaccinate them first.)

5. Enjoy your lifetime of unconditional love.
