ACS Post Adoption Veterinary Care

Animal Care Services of San Antonio is initiating a program that will allow 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.

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 the events link for dates, times and locations.
