Pet Adoption

Austin Humane Society took in 94 animals from the Gulf Coast Humane Society in Corpus Christi when the coastal shelter was still projected to be in the path of Hurricane Beryl.

The city-owned shelter began restricting intake this week because its kennels are overcrowded. Austin Animal Center is now at 110% capacity, with some dogs living in temporary pop-up crates.

The shelter currently has more than 700 animals, including 67 dogs that are staying in popup wire crates because all other kennels are full. To help with the problem, the shelter is waiving adoption fees and hosting a “Clear the Crates” event on Saturday.

Austin Pets Alive! is waiving adoption fees through mid-June to encourage more people to adopt as the city experiences 100-degree weather.
