Community Calendar
The goals of the Austin Animal Services outreach program are to reduce shelter intake from targeted zip codes, provide humane education and prevention-based intervention, and build partnerships through community events, classes, and presentations.
May 2026
Bissell Pet Foundation
Friday, May 1 - Sunday, May 17 at Animal Services
Austin Animal Services is proud to partner with the BISSELL Pet Foundation to help more pets find loving homes.
Through this partnership, adoption events and reduced fees make it easier for the community to bring home a new pet. These efforts help create space in the shelter, allowing more animals in need to receive care and a second chance.
