Have you been wanting to add a furry member to your family? San Antonio Animal Care Services (SAACS) and San Antonio Pets Alive! (SAPA!) are hosting an adoption event — Empty the Shelters — sponsored by the BISSELL Pet Foundation. This event — happening across 44 states — aims to save the lives of shelter pets through placement and ease overcrowded facilities.

For every pet SAACS + SAPA! can place with a furever family, the foundation will provide donations to each organization. The funds go right back into helping more animals.

Here’s what you need to know:

  • Located at 4710 State Hwy 151
  • Reduced adoption fees of $25
  • Adoptions include dogs, cats, puppies, and kittens
  • Happening through Monday, July 31

All adoptions are first come, first served, and SAACS + SAPA! processes and policies apply. All pets adopted from these organizations are sterilized, vaccinated (first round of shots), and are microchipped with a free lifetime registration.
