Did you know...
Last year, we adopted out more than 3,800 dogs
and cats and rescued/transferred more than 3,200 dogs and cats which
assisted in decreasing the euthanasia rate for the year.
ACS Post Adoption Veterinary Care
Animal Care Services of San
Antonio allows adopters to return for an evaluation of their
pet’s health if it shows signs of illness within the first
ten(10) days of ownership.
This program is
designed to treat minor illnesses that require minimal treatment
and cost. It is not a substitution for the adopter’s
contractual obligation to take their newly adopted pet to their
veterinarian for a total physical. Animal Care Services strongly
encourages ALL pet owners to establish a relationship with
veterinarian for the sake of their pet’s health.
To schedule an
appointment for your pet, please call 207-6652.
Adoption Events
Thousands of animals enter the shelter
throughout the year that qualify for the adoption program. To give all of
these pets an opportunity
to be adopted into a ‘forever home,’ Animal Care
Services hosts a series of pet adoption
special events.
The goal is to reduce the number of animals
that are euthanized due to overcrowded conditions. Click on the events link
above for dates, times and locations.
