Abandoned dog at Walnut Creek Metropolitan Park — need help

Searching Austin May 22, 2026
Update: May 19th, I went back after work last night and again this morning and no sign of them unfortunately. At this point I’m not sure if someone picked up the pup or they just got better at hiding. Thank you so much everyone who went out yesterday to try and help. If someone was able to help, please let me know. If not I will keep checking until we find them. I have gotten no update on the 311 report, they told me they would update me after going. May 18th, on my morning walk today I saw this dog alone in the woods near the baseball fields at Walnut Creek Metropolitan Park. Looks like a white pit bull/pitty mix. He seemed very scared, hungry, and wouldn’t come close. I had my three dogs with me so I didn’t want to push him or make him more stressed. I called 311, but they said it could take up to 92 hours for someone to respond. Location: in the wooded area between the baseball field ACROSS from the playground and the parking lot in front of the playground. I tried to show where it was in the wider photos I’m stuck in back-to-back meetings until around 4 PM or I’d already be back out there trying again. Posting in case anyone nearby, especially someone experienced with scared/stray dogs, can check on him sooner or help coordinate with AAC. He looked really sad and exhausted. Hoping he’s just lost and not dumped out there. submitted by [comments]
