The Austin Animal Center is a great spot to do some good and play with sweet dogs!

You don’t always have to be looking for a new pet when you go to the Austin Animal Center, which is always looking for volunteers to hang out with and walk the puppies. Not only is it a feel-good activity for anyone, but it's also a great way to acclimate kids without pets to dogs. So head over to AAC and see if there’s a pup available for walking, because who doesn’t love some furry friend time?
