Claudette arrived at MCHS on 10/23/2026 from the city pound, and she has quite the story. Two weeks before she came to us, she was found tied to the fence next to the dumpster between our shelter and the city pound. As we expected, no one claimed her from the pound, so after her stray hold was completed, we took her in for her fresh start. She is a pit bull type dog who seems to be around 2 years old, if not a smidge younger. We will need to get her vet checked and spayed and her fee is $150.
Claudette is a happy and active gal who will need a bit of basic training and regular exercise. She has a pretty delightful personality. Because she is new to us, we're not yet sure how she would do with other dogs and we have no way of testing with cats. We're thinking she would do fine with kids, but supervision is always necessary as she is strong and very bouncy. We'll update as we get to know her better.
NOTE: Adoptions are done via private appointment once an application has been completed and approved.
We are located at 101 22nd St. SE in Austin, right next to the airport. It's exit 180B off of I-90, right off of 218 South.
We do require that potential adopters be at least 21 years old and that any resident dogs be up to date on vaccinations, heartworm testing/preventatives, and spayed or neutered.
