TRIGGER WARNING: Graphic injuries in last 2 pictures.
Adopted from City of San Antonio Animal Care Services as a puppy in March of 2023, Cinnamon sadly reappeared at ACS exactly one year later, picked up as a stray with what appeared to be a severe wound consistent with a chemical burn. Cinnamon had to undergo intensive care, receiving daily bandage changes to ensure her wound healed and did not get worse from infection.
Cinnamon attracted the eye of one of our fosters, Tim, who has an affection for brown Shepherd mixes, and he was committed to helping Cinnamon find the perfect forever family that would not let her down. At the end of July, we are so happy to say that Tim helped Cinnamon get what every pet in San Antonio truly deserves, a loving forever home.
As we celebrate in this beautiful story of an incredible dog getting the life she always deserved, we have to thank ACS for starting Cinnamon's path to healing, and her foster Tim for his dedication to ensuring one less sad story through the power of fostering.

Where Are They Meow Update!
Pirate was one of our medical cases that was truly unforgettable. He came to us from our rescue partner, Bexar County Animal Facility where he had undergone amputation surgery for a necrotic back leg. Pirate had quite the healing journey, but he showed us resilience, unending love, and a little bit of sass that Siamese kitties are so well known for.
Pirate’s sad but moving backstory attracted the attention of Olivia, and it was love at first sight. Within minutes of meeting, Pirate was a lap cat.
Now renamed Ginkgo, after the tree famed for having strength and healing properties, this kitty is living his best life all because of Olivia. We adore seeing our former fosters, living the life they always should have had, all thanks to our growing community who support the Adopt, Don’t Shop Movement.

***Graphic eye injury in video.
Princess is a sweet 9-pound, 5-month old puppy who tragically was bought to the city shelter with severe trauma. Based on injuries, including a ruptured, infected eye and puncture wounds on her neck, it’s believed that Princess was attacked by another animal.
The infection in Princess’s eye was so severe, it risked causing more serious infection throughout her head and swift action was needed to save her life. We were able to step in and quickly get this sweet pup the urgent surgery she so desperately needed.
We cannot help animals with critical medical needs, like Princess, without your generous donations. We are asking for you to please consider donating (link is in our bio) to Princess to help her on her continued path of healing and to help her find her forever home, and so we can always say yes to taking in animals like Princess and have one less sad story for the animals of San Antonio.

Meet Lady, a sweet puppy we rescued from ACS after she was hit by a car, leaving her with two broken limbs.💔 Thanks to our amazing supporters, we're able to help animals like her.💞
Lady is now recovering from her surgery to have one leg pinned by Dr. Narurkar at Deerfield Animal Hospital. She's healing in a loving foster home, which belongs to Rico’s dad (Rico is another one of our rescue dogs). Rico's adopter's mom spotted Lady and asked for our help. Lady still has a long road ahead. Once she's fully healed, she'll need spay surgery and will remain in our care until she's ready for adoption.
We're asking for your support to ensure her full recovery and cover the cost of her spay surgery. Your donations make it possible for us to save lives and give animals like Lady a chance. To continue our mission of saving dogs and giving them a better future, we need the help of our supporters. With steady donations, we're able to cover food, vet care, daily overhead costs, and infrastructure. By donating, you directly help save the lives of dogs and cats.🐶🐱❣️

Ollie and Barlow, two of our adult cats were welcomed by The Aspen Animal Shelter into their beautiful adoption center last week. Adult cats can take a long time to get adopted in San Antonio, so by transporting animals when we can, to places that aren’t in crisis, we are able to intake more from critical situations in San Antonio. We’d like to thank this wonderful shelter for allowing our cats to join your program and we hope they get adopted really soon! If you’re interested in sponsoring Barlow or Ollie for their trip to Colorado don’t hesitate to make a donation in their name. Footbridge Foundation completely prepared them for adoption 100% vetting them. We can’t do our work without your help! #aspenanimalshelter #friendsoftheaspenanimalshelter #footbridgefoundation #aspencats #rescuecats

Meet Gary, a tiny fighter with a giant spirit! ❤️
This 5-week-old fuzzball was all alone in a parking lot, emaciated and injured. But against all odds, he survived! Now, Gary needs your help to walk again.
Despite paralysis and a fractured leg, Gary’s will to live is incredible. At first needing his bladder expressed, there was grave concern he could never use the litter box without help. Imagine the sheer joy felt when Gary first used the litter box on his own, showing us he was healing and fighting to live a fully normal and healthy life! He’s already overcome so much, but surgery is the next step to a pain-free life.
Every donation, big or small, gets him closer to healing and finding his forever home! Donate and learn more at the link in our bio, and help Gary and other cats like him get the care they need to become fully independent, healthy, loving, and adoptable animals!

After walking countless foster dogs across the footbridge in her neighborhood, it struck Wendy Black one day that the bridge was becoming quite symbolic. It seemed that once the
dogs got the hang of their claws touching the metal surface, it was about the same time they were forgetting their past and moving full force into their future. A new life, one with walks along the San Antonio river, veterinary care, nutritious meals and treats that come without fail each and every day. Noticing all the good coming out of this, in 2017 an application was made for a 501c3 and Footbridge Foundation was born.
The daunting statistics of San Antonio’s animal problem has kept Footbridge busy and passionate to save more lives. Many friends are involved with Footbridge now and in helping hundreds of kittens, cats, puppies and dogs we see that there is an endless need.
Donations are used to help strays and fosters with items such as low cost spay/neuter surgery, x-rays, dental care, emergency care, surgeries for amputation, broken bones, deformities, hospice care, eye care, heart worm/lyme disease test for dogs, treatment for parasitic diseases, FIV/FeLV testing for adoptable cats, TNR trapper fees, dewormer & vaccinations, monthly flea & heart worm prevention, microchips, intake fees, transport costs, pet food, kitty litter, collars, tags, cones, leashes, harnesses, training treats, bowls, beds, crates, carriers, traps, puppy pads, formula, bottles, blankets, towels, cleaning supplies and more.
Donations are accepted by check/mail, PayPal, Venmo, Zelle, Facebook and directly on our website.
