Animal Care Services Needs Adopters to Empty the Shelters

Published on July 08, 2024

SAN ANTONIO (July 8, 2024) – Hundreds of adoption-ready pets are waiting for new homes in our community’s shelters. San Antonio Animal Care Services (SAACS) is hoping residents will help ease overcrowding by opting to adopt a new companion. SAACS is hosting an Empty the Shelters event from now through July 31 with reduced $25 adoption fees for both dogs and cats. 

Sponsored by the BISSELL Pet Foundation, this three-week event aims to save the lives of shelter pets while easing overcrowding during the busiest time of year at the municipal shelter. Through the foundation’s support, SAACS also receives a lifesaving donation for every pet placed with a new family—those funds go right back into helping even more dogs and cats in the shelter!
