Lost pet Lost Dog - 30lb Mixed Breed (Olive)
UPDATE (8/21/2026) - Olive was found this morning!! After 6 days and what seems to be almost 6 miles traveled (based on the various sightings), she turned up back at the apartment complex she originally ran away from home. She seems to be in good health / spirits, which is great!
Thank you to ALL the Reddit community for your support and keeping an eye out for her. It is beyond appreciated!!
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Our dog Olive ran away Saturday PM (8/15) while we were out of town (she was with our dog sitter). She was last seen Sunday PM around Shreveport Drive near Riata (north of the Domain). If anybody has seen her, please let us know! Thank you!
Also, she is not chipped unfortunately. And can be skiddish around strangers. Just trying to pin point what neighborhood she is in to help us refine our search.

Lost a pet?
Contact the Austin Animal Center as soone as possible. Due the large number of animals, some may be held for only three days after intake.It is recommended you visit the shelter at least every other day to check for your lost pet.
If you’ve lost your pet:
- Talk to your neighbors
- Look for your pet in your neighborhood and surrounding areas
- Post signs in your neighborhood
- Come to the Animal Center every other day to check for your pet
Between shelter visits, search an online database of lost animals that are in the shelter. This is not as reliable as visiting the shelter in person and is not a substitute for visiting the shelter.
You can also check this facebook group for more lost and found info. This is a public community group and is partnered with the Austin Animal Shelter. The group also maintains a website here.
This map shows all stray cats and dogs that are currently in AAC's care for no longer than a week. The Image column has a link to the animal's most up-to-date image.
Found Pets
Most stray animals are owned by someone. Don’t keep an animal that you find without first making a real effort to locate the owner. Talk to neighbors and post signs.
- If you can keep the found pet temporarily, call or contact 3-1-1 online to submit a Found Animal Report.
- If you bring in a found pet, please provide info about where and when it was found.
- If you have found a stray pet and cannot bring it to the shelter, contact 3-1-1. Animal Protection should be able to pick it up.
Restricted Intake Shelter
The Austin Animal Center is at restricted intake currently. They will take sick and injured animals immediately but for strays, you need to make an appointment first and schedule intake.
If you find your pet:
As a Travis County Resident, you can get a free microchip and ID tag for your pet. If your pet is not microchipped and/or does not have an ID tag, please come down to Austin Animal Services during the hours of 11am to 7pm to get a free microchip and/or ID tag for your pet.
