Animal Services Office turns to outside boarding to address shelter crowding - Austin Monitor

The early findings from April visits to the third-party spaces found 'the animals placed in boarding have received much more individual enrichment and out-of-kennel time than the Austin Animal Center has the capability to provide, even with a substantial volunteer base.'

The boarding agreements were meant to be temporary but are ongoing, with dogs swapped out of boarding after 30 days to accommodate more animals.

Dogs transferred out of AAC for boarding are not considered available for adoption immediately, requiring a process to facilitate their return and potential adoption.
