The dogs on the urgent placement list are at-risk when euthanasia deadlines are given.
Animal rescues often transfer dogs between each other to better manage resources and increase the chances of adoption. By doing so, they can move animals from overcrowded shelters or those in areas with high pet populations to locations where there's more capacity, resources to focus on the dogs, and higher demand for adoptions.
Dogs available for rescue placements can go to an approved AAC rescue partner.
Rescues that are not already an approved AAC rescue partner can each out to animal.rescue@austintexas.gov to express interest in rescuing any of the dogs above.
Although these dogs are typically not eligible for foster through AAC, if you or someone you know is interested, please reach out by e-mailing rescueatxdogs@gmail.com because rescue organizations are more likely to pull if a foster is committed.
This city's statements can be found on their urgent placement page, these dogs include long stays, dogs with bite records, or 'hard to adopt' dogs at their discretion. The dogs are at risk because of the space issues at the city shelter.
Dogs fostered or adopted through AAC are eligible for training vouchers through Friends of AAC. All of the dogs at the shelter have volunteer advocates that are happy to stay in touch to provide tips and support you through the journey.
