    Animal Shelters in Austin, TX

    Austin has 24 listed animal shelters and rescue organizations, in Travis County. About half are rescue organizations. Pflugerville and Manor, both within about 13 miles, have listings of their own. Between them there are dogs and cats of every age and size in Austin, and the right one is rarely the one you set out looking for.

    Austin has 24 listed at the moment, and they are shown above with the ones that have photos first. Open any of them for the full address, contact details and opening hours.

    A mix of both, and the difference is worth knowing before you set out. A rescue usually places animals from a network of foster homes rather than from premises you can walk into, so you generally arrange a meeting first. A shelter or humane society more often has a facility you can visit during opening hours.

    The Austin listings all fall in Travis County, which is worth knowing if you are checking whether a shelter takes animals from your area.

    If nothing here suits, Pflugerville, Manor and Cedar Park all have listings within about 16 miles. Each one links through from the sidebar.

    Most listings here carry a phone number, and most link to the organization's own website. Calling ahead is worth it — opening hours change, and rescues often work by appointment rather than keeping a building open.
