This fall, Austin Community College District (ACC) has a pack of pets ready to snuggle, play, and bring joy to your life! Every semester, ACC’s Veterinary Technology students, faculty, and staff nurture and care for shelter animals from all over Central Texas. Now, these four-legged friends are searching for their forever homes.

This fall’s adoption cohort includes pets of all ages and personalities, each with a unique story. Whether you’re looking for a playful puppy, a calm senior cat, or a loyal companion, ACC has a variety of pets waiting for you to meet them!

Adopting a pet through ACC is a straightforward and heartwarming experience. Here’s how you can bring home your new best friend:

  • Visit the Elgin Campus: Schedule a time to visit and meet the animals by contacting Libby Chow at [email protected]
  • Get to Know the Pets: Spend quality time with the animals to find the perfect fit for your family and lifestyle.
  • Complete an Adoption Application: Tell us about your living situation and prior experience with pets.
  • Affordable Adoption Fee: A small adoption fee helps cover each pet’s care and medical needs, including vaccinations.

Why Adopt from ACC’s Vet Tech Program?

By adopting through ACC, you’re providing a pet with a forever home and supporting ACC’s mission to give students hands-on experience in veterinary care. The College program partners with rural shelters to give animals a second chance and create space in these communities.
