Hi! I'm currently en route to Austin Pets Alive! from a partner shelter, but not on campus just yet. If you'd like to open your home to me by the time I arrive in Austin in the next few days, please email dog-foster-placement@austinpetsalive.org. Thank you!

About Pit Bull Terrier Dogs

Pit Bull Terriers are strong, athletic dogs with big, goofy smiles and even bigger hearts. Often misunderstood, these loving dogs are among the most loyal, people-oriented breeds you'll find. With proper socialization and training, they're gentle, affectionate companions who adore their families.

Adopting a Pit Bull means giving a deserving dog a second chance - they're one of the most common breeds in shelters. You'll be rewarded with a devoted, playful companion who lives to make you happy. Their resilience, intelligence, and capacity for love make them truly extraordinary dogs.

Local Climate & Pet Care

Winter

40°F to 62°F

Dec – Feb

Austin’s mild winters are ideal for Labrador Retrievers. Zilker Park and the Lady Bird Lake hike-and-bike trail provide great exercise. Labs handle the occasional freeze without needing extra layers.

Spring

52°F to 82°F

Mar – May

Labs shed heavily as Austin warms. Wildflower season (March-April) makes trail walks at McKinney Falls beautiful. Keep Labs on leash near Lady Bird Lake due to seasonal blue-green algae warnings.

Summer

72°F to 98°F

Jun – Aug

Austin’s intense heat is dangerous for active Labrador Retrievers. Barton Creek swimming holes are great for cooling off, but walk only before 7 AM. Watch for toxic algae blooms in Lady Bird Lake that are deadly for dogs.

Fall

58°F to 85°F

Sep – Nov
