San Antonio Pets Alive! Launches Exciting Adoption Special Amid Full Shelters
In the vibrant city of San Antonio, a pressing situation is unfolding at the shelters, and the local community is being called upon to step up and help out our furry friends in need! San Antonio Pets Alive! (SAPA) has announced that they have reached full capacity at all of their locations. This critical situation is causing concern for the at-risk animals currently under their care.
Join the Adoption Special!
To combat this overwhelming situation, SAPA is rolling out an amazing adoption special starting on Friday, January 17, and running through Sunday, January 26. This is a fantastic opportunity for anyone considering bringing a new pet into their family! During this special event, the fees for adopting most pets will be completely waived—yes, you read that right! The only exceptions are some ambassador pets that hold a special place in the organization’s heart.
Why Adopt from SAPA?
When you adopt a pet from SAPA, you are not just gaining a furry companion; you’re making a difference in that animal’s life. Each adoption includes essential services such as vaccinations, microchipping, and spaying/neutering, making the transition into your home smoother and safer. It’s like getting a brand new family member, all set up and ready to love!
Fostering Is a Great Option Too!
If adopting isn’t possible for you at this time, there’s still a way to help out! SAPA is strongly encouraging fostering for those who may not be able to commit long-term to an adoption. Fostering allows animals to leave the shelter environment and acclimatize to home life, which is so important for their wellbeing. Your love and care create a nurturing environment where these animals can thrive until they find their forever homes.
How You Can Help
By adopting or fostering a pet from SAPA, you are creating valuable space in the shelters, allowing SAPA to rescue more animals that are at risk of euthanasia. Every single adoption or foster placement makes an enormous difference in saving lives. The organization has a wide selection of adorable adoptable and foster-ready pets just waiting to meet you. From playful puppies to gentle older dogs and cuddly cats, there’s a perfect companion out there for everyone.

Community Support Is Key
Joel McLellan, the Senior Director of Programs and Operations for SAPA, has highlighted how crucial community support is at this time. By opening your heart and home, you have the power to change lives, not just for the pets but for the entire community. So, if you’re in San Antonio and have been thinking about adding a furry companion to your family, now is certainly the right time!
