Austin Animal services runs the largest animal shelter in Central Texas, providing shelter to more than 23,000 animals each year and animal control services to all of Austin and Travis County. The Animal Center is an open-intake facility where stray and owned animals from Travis County in need of shelter are accepted regardless of age, health, species or breed. It is the goal of the Austin Animal Center to place all adoptable animals in forever homes.
Currently located at 1156 West Cesar Chavez in Austin Texas, Austin Animal Services will be moving in November of 2011 to a brand new state of the art facility located just under 5 miles east of the current location at 7201 Levander Loop near the intersection of 183 and Airport Boulevard.
