We are Austin's oldest and longest-standing no-kill, non-profit animal adoption shelter dedicated to assisting Central Texas' most in-need cats and dogs.

Serving our community since 1952, the Austin Humane Society (AHS) is the longest standing no-kill shelter in Austin. AHS transforms the lives of animals and the people who love them through life-saving programs that find animals homes, serve animals and people in times of crisis, prevent future homelessness through spay and neuter, and engage the community to be a part of the solution. Over the past year, AHS has unleashed hope for over 11,000 animals thanks to the generosity of our donors.

Who is that pink-nosed pooch? It’s River! River is one of the funnest dogs we have at the shelter right now! He’s a year old, 62lbs, and has so much spirit! He loves people, kids, and other dogs! Whatta catch! He’d love a backyard and would thrive in an attentive, active home with lots of engagement. If you want to take him home and try it out to see if it’s a good fit first, ask about our foster-to-adopt! Stop by and meet River today!

Any tortoise fans out there? If so, we have the gal for you! This is Lucy, and she is all about getting pets and people. She loves a good chin scratchie and cuddling up with her human after a long day. Lucy gets along with dogs, but cats may need a slow introduction. She’s a senior kitty at 14 years old, weighs 9lbs, and has been an indoor and outdoor cat. Are you ready to bring a new friend into your home? Lucy would love to meet you!
