Who We Are

The Austin Humane Society is a non-profit organization dedicated to re-homing orphaned animals, promoting the human-animal bond, educating children and adults about responsible pet ownership and preventing pet overpopulation. The Austin Humane Society, located at 124 West Anderson Lane, Austin, TX, has been caring for animals for over fifty years and operates one of the most progressive animal shelters in Texas. The positive, comforting environment allows animals to thrive and is pleasing to visitors. Additionally, the state of the art shelter hosts renowned education and training programs that have gained national recognition. These programs, along with the exemplary Pet Adoption Center, have been emulated by animal-care organizations across the country. The Austin Humane Society is an independent, non-profit organization that is solely supported by private donations and does not receive funds from government entities or ongoing support from national associations.

The Austin Humane Society does not euthanize healthy animals. Instead, a positive alternative to euthanasia is offered at no cost to taxpayers or the community. Animals accepted into the Adoption Center are kept as long as it takes to find a new, loving home. The only case in which there is a need for euthanasia is if an animal is suffering or extremely aggressive. By teaching adults and children the urgency of neutering their pets, the Austin Humane Society strives to eliminate the staggering number of unwanted animals born each year.

Adopting a Friend

The Austin Humane Society places healthy and temperamentally sound animals in responsible new homes where they will receive quality and stable lifelong care. Each adopted animal receives a Health Care Package which includes: spay/neuter, a HomeAgain micochip, vaccinations, de-worming, testing (heartworm, feleuk/FIV), bordetella, and rabies vaccination. The Pet Adoption Center is open 6 days a week.
