How it works for Austin families
We drive to Austin for a delivery fee that covers the round trip, or we can meet partway — Waco is a common halfway point. Call and we will work out whatever is easiest for you.
Raising a puppy in Austin
Auditorium Shores has the famous off-leash stretch along the lake with the downtown skyline behind it. Zilker Park and the Barton Creek Greenbelt are the long-walk options, and Red Bud Isle is the local swimming spot for water-loving doodles. Austin's patio culture means a well-socialised dog can genuinely go out to dinner with you.
Wherever you walk your puppy, wait until roughly two weeks after their final vaccination before visiting dog parks or anywhere unknown dogs toilet. Until then, carrying your puppy somewhere busy is a superb way to socialise them safely — see our vaccination schedule guide for the timeline.
