Animal Trustees of Austin

Great program, but just know that if they say it will be an hour wait, they really mean 2.5 hours

We have been to mobile vet for three times and great experiences each time!
Very friendly and lovely staffs and vet. Welcoming and willing to assist with very cheap price. Some shots such as rabies, DHPP, microchip, neuter are free of charge.
Keep in mind, the line and wait can be hours sometimes. So plan ahead and come sign in as early as 930am! (you can’t sign in before that)

Recently had a wonderful experience with Emancipet! We have an english bulldog who needed to be neutered. Because he was a cryptorchid the surgery quote I got from our normal vet was over $ 700. Even as a responsible pet owner, this is a lot to shell out. Especially on a dog who was already bitten by a rattle snake earlier this year.
Scheduling with Emancipet was extremely easy online. When we showed up for our appointment everyone was professional and the volunteers were very helpful. My total bill for the full surgery, pain pills and cone was under $ 100. I couldn’t be happier and my dog is doing great. He recovered very quickly with no negative side effects of the surgery. Highly recommended!

IS NOW CALLED EMANCIPET.
I’m thankful for affordable animal care, especially spay/​neuter services.
They run this place very efficiently. All employees and volunteers are nice and knowledgeable. Some are slower than others in processing at the end of the day, but still worth it.
It’s not the fanciest place and the location is a little hard to park at when pick time comes around, as there is a small window that all pet parents have to come in by.
Overall, good. I’ve used them twice.

I recently rescued a little dog only to find out he needed extensive dental surgery. You don’t plan on having to shell out major cash for a new pet, so I had to do some hunting around. I am so glad I found Animal Trustees. They did so much for my dog for a good price and walked me through the reasons for every detail of the procedure. They also referred me to a wonderful veterinarian for a specialized surgery that he needed. They are kind, empathetic, and very helpful.

This place is a God send. I’ve lived in a bunch of cities and I know people in those cities wish they had caring people like the ones at this establishment. This place is the epitome of what Austin is. Beat down on the outside. Clean and Caring on the inside.
I’ve been to much nicer looking facilities that didn’t give me the warm feeling this place did. The Dr I saw was so nice and pleasant to be around. I asked a million questions and not once did I feel I was being rushed. I was given sound advice about my little puppy, who btw took a shot without a peep. I donated an extra 10 bucks Bc I want to help this place succeed. Bravo

I’m simply giving them one star because I called them about 10 times and tried every extension to speak to someone and all I got was voicemails. There’s not even an option to speak to an actual human. They’d have better luck with the dogs running the phones.

I absolutely love this place. Unlike Emancipet they are very careful with the animals. For example they give an exam before giving vaccines. My little girl turned out to have a heart murmur and for her safety they did not give her vaccines there. Also unlike Emancipet, they allow the owner to be in the room while the exam was taken place. Emancipet cares only about the gonads while ATA cares about the whole pet. Thank you ATA!!!

Scott Davis is amazing! He is the Tech.
who cleaned my dogs teeth. He took the time to SIT down and explained in detail the diagnosis. He has taken the time to email the X-​rays, chart, references for other Doctors who may help my dog with a an issue with one of her teeth.
These people really care and their prices are very reasonable. I found a new vet.
THANK YOU Austin Animal Trustees you guys are awesome!

I went there today without any appointment and they were able to fit me in. They were wonderful! They were very knowledgable and kind to me and my dog. I would highly recommend them to anyone!

I’m glad I live in Austin, this place. Free microchipping for some zip codes. Splurge on the appointment, consider it a donation.

Such a great place. These people aren’t making money off of this. It is so low-​priced.
I see people leaving bad reviews because they couldn’t scrounge up $ 10 to reserve an appointment. These people need to be thrown overboard or into a ditch somewhere.
This is a great place with great people, and they’re helping a lot of animals who might not otherwise be helped.
I will continue to come to Animal Trustees of Austin.

So my Pug Helen knows this place well. Poor thing has had surgery from them and than got more meds for a UTI. They have always been great with her and even let us have a running tab. I think we owe about $ 500+ to them, but Helen is worth it! Jesus the office manager there is great too, but his last day was this past Friday. he is moving on to Colorado and helping pets there.
If you need anything for your pet and cant afford a regular vet for surgery or major treatments go here. They are half the cost of a regular place. Take as much as you can afford and then put you on a payment plan. They also have a clinic on the other side, but be there VERY early, as it gets filled up quick and than you have a 4 hour wait. Just like low cost housing… Austin doesn’t have enough low cost vet clinics to go around.
Thank you ATA, your definitely needed in Austin!

Took my dog to get vaccinated. Noticed that if you pay to have an appointment made they will see you first. If you walk in and get an appointent without paying you will have to wait till all paid appointment times that are in the waiting room are seen first. In other words I walk in at 12 and Victoria said I would be seen at 2pm. Instead she would give priority to a person who paid $ 15 for their appt at 3pm over yours if he was in the waiting room. So if there was another paid appt waiting in the waiting room I would still have to wait. Since I didn’t pay $ 15 to set my appt, I was treated like dog crap just because of $ 15. Best to pay for your appt rather then walkin or you’ll be disrespected. Front desk girl victoria didn’t even apologize just ignore me. I have to say Victoria is very rude. Doctors are nice though. If it wasn’t for Victoria I’d give it a 5 star.

In the past week, I’ve had nothing but the best experiences with Animal Trustees of Austin. Last Tuesday evening my fiancé and I discovered a kitten stuck (one of his front paws was smashed and stuck between two pieces of metal) in his car engine and we rushed him to the Austin Vet Clinic since it was close to 8p and we knew they were open all night. They told us his right arm would need amputating, as well as a portion of his tail. After giving us an estimate that was a bit out of our price range, they referred us to ATA. I brought him in the next morning, and even though I did not have an appointment (not advocating this!) and they were very busy, someone quickly came to talk me through the next steps. He ended up having the surgeries the next day and throughout the entire process, the staff went above and beyond to make sure everything went perfectly for little Luck, and they kept us informed of his progress throughout. We ended up paying a fraction of the cost we were initially quoted and could not be happier with the results and treatment received.
It is obviously how much the staff cares for each and every animal (and owner) who walks through those doors. I can not recommend their services enough and am truly grateful for their help and generosity. I will definitely be making as many donations as possible to this truly wonderful organization with an awesome mission.

Got my Stud Cat, George, fixed a couple of weeks ago. Their service was excellent and I felt like I was leaving my awesome Cat in good hands. The outside of the building looks run down, but the inside was very clean, organized, and comfortable.
It’s definitely a great 1-​stop-​shop too! I got George fixed, cone-​of-​shame, chipped, serviced, clipped, immunized, and all blood work done all for $ 130. They don’t do ‘sick calls’ but for any of the above listed, you seriously cannot beat that price anywhere in Austin.

These folks will forever hold a special place in my heart. A few years ago I was unemployed and having a tough time financially. I found out our dog that we had recently adopted from a shelter had heart worm and other significant health issues. Animal Trustees of Austin treated our dog and us like we were the most important patients they’d ever had! They were caring and compassionate as well as knowledgeable. The set our pooch up with a treatment plan at a fraction of the cost that other veterinarian offices quoted. They never treated us like second-​class citizens because we weren’t wealthy. The place is not fancy, but the staff have huge hearts to make up for it.
Our dog is still with us and has never had another problem since then. I swore at the time that I would help Animal Trustees out financially when I was able to, and we have been able to keep that promise with occasional donations. Please support these amazing people if your pet needs care. Their hearts are REALLY all about helping animals and their humans.

Can’t hate a place that strives to affordable care for pets. Often there is a long line but hey, when I pay less than $ 50 to get all my dog’s annual vaccines same day and without an appointment I’m not really able to complain.
The staff has always been fantastic with my girl and even though they are low cost they are certainly not low quality.
Thanks for being available in a neighborhood that needs it!

Animal Trustees is about as good as it gets. I had all my puppy’s shots (8 weeks onwards) done here as well as his neutering. As a nonprofit clinic, their services are incredibly affordable (neutering was barely over $ 70 and included microchipping and a nail clipping).
The staff is knowledgeable and friendly and love all the animals that come through. They’ll take care of your pet and fill you in on everything you need to know to make sure your pet stays healthy.

I don’t want to spend a lot of keystrokes talking about how great the Animal Trustees of Austin is. They’re idealists who are doing excellent work. Every time I’ve visited, they’ve provided exceptional care for our cats.
They don’t need more ‘business.’ They are saturated with pets brought to them by people with very meager resources. Animal Trustees of Austin could do with more donations. They put every donated penny to good use towards helping animals. This is not some glitzy non-​profit lavashing the executive board with fancy sports cars. They make effective use of their budget, and you’ll see that on your first visit. Also, donors receive proper thank-​you letter with receipt so you can deduct your donation from your income taxes.
