The cats and dogs in Austin Community College District\u2019s (ACC) Veterinary Technology Program are ready to meet you!<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Each adoptable pet is spayed\/neutered, vaccinated, microchipped, and given heartworm prevention and basic training while in ACC\u2019s care.
