Hey, no one's perfect, right? 
We call them special needs because they need special owners! These dogs and cats are looking for someone who will shower them with affection and attention. We are committed to finding a home for every animal, even if it requires a little extra medical attention or training. (And between you and us, special-needs pets are some of the best pets around.) If you would like to learn more about any of these animals, contact our Foster Care department at (512) 685-0112 or fostercare@austinhumanesociety.org.

Do you want to come home and be greeted with a smile and a whole-body wag? Then I'm your gal! TRUDY is my name and I'm a Shepherd/Chow mix, ready to be your special companion! I'm affectionate and love to run in the back yard, play Fetch or Tug. If you give me a squeaky toy, chew toy or Kong stuffed with peanut butter, I'll be your best friend! Did I mention I'm HOUSETRAINED and know lots of commands? AND I’m a great watch dog! Let's talk about our future together! – Love, TRUDY
