Saving...
The City of San Antonio Animal Care Services is the largest, open-admission shelter in South Texas and annually cares for tens of thousands of animals. Because the City of San Antonio has an animal overpopulation issue and with the sometimes hundreds of pets that come into ACS every day, kennel capacity can be limited. If you find an animal in your neighborhood, do everything you can to re-home the pet into a safe and loving home before bringing the pet into the shelter as a last resort. Additional options include:
