| Austin has been chosen as a target community by the ASPCA for the ASPCA Mission: Orange project. We are thrilled and excited to have the support of the ASPCA, who are bringing their expertise and support to all of the Austin animal welfare organizations. Mission: Orange is a focused effort that will assist the Austin community as we move forward to become a city where there is no unnecessary euthanasia of animals, a city where animals receive the respect and compassion they deserve. |
Animal Welfare Partners
Town Lake Animal Center (TLAC) is dedicated to providing and promoting humane treatment of animals while protecting the public health by managing the domestic animal population. The center is a City of Austin/Travis County facility.
The animal center provides many services, including adoptions, impoundment, injured and stray animal rescue, pet registry information (972-LOST), and spay/neuter education. The pet adoption center and offices are located at 1156 West Cesar Chavez between Lamar and Mopac.
Animal Cruelty complaints can be reported to the Police Department by calling 3-1-1.
Spay and neuter surgeries are performed by appointment at the Animal Trustees of Austin Spay/Neuter Clinic. Patients are discharged on the same day as surgery.
The Wellness Clinic is open seven days per week and services are provided on a walk-in basis, so appointments are not required. The Wellness Clinic is located in the same building as our Spay/Neuter Clinic.
Emancipet of Austin
EMANCIPE+ has chosen to advocate for and provide free and low-cost spay/neuter services since day one because we believe it is one of the most efficient and effective methods of reducing the homeless pet population. We provide spay/neuter services throughout the Central Texas area via both mobile and stationary clinics, and serve between 1,200 – 2,000 pets each month. We employ highly skilled veterinary surgeons and veterinary technicians, and our medical protocols exceed the highest standards in veterinary medicine today.
