San Antonio Pets Alive San Antonio Pets Alive! is a life-saving organization founded on the tenet: Killing is not a solution. It is our obligation to find lifesaving solutions.
(1198)

is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization whose mission is to provide the programs and services needed to eliminate the killing of at-risk animals due to lack of space, adopter or foster. (SAPA!) began its life-saving work as a reaction, a reaction to a devastating situation in our backyard where thousands (19,458 in 2011 to be exact) of dogs and cats were killed at the City’s shelter. In 2011 SAPA! la

unched its model of pulling animals at the city shelter who were kenneled, awaiting euthanasia, to save their lives. Since then, SAPA! has saved 60,000+ dogs and cats lives. We save puppies with parvo, orphaned kittens too young to survive without a mother, dogs considered undesirable because of their size or physical characteristics as well as thousands more that have been hit by cars, are heartworm positive, or abandoned. People interested in adopting can view all of the dogs and cats available for adoption online at www.sanantoniopetsalive.org or visit any of our locations. Animal Care Services

How You Can Help:

1. Adopt, Foster, Rescue: The SAPA! model depends on finding placement for animals every day. Our most critical need is homes. Visit our Urgents & Adoptables Page for more information: facebook.com/sapaurgents. Learn more about fostering at sanantoniopetsalive.org/foster/

2. Donate: SAPA! is funded by gifts from donors, revenue from programs and services, and a contract with the city. We depend on gifts to save lives. Every dollar you give is a dollar we can use to save lives. Consider giving monthly and joining the ranks of our constant companions. Learn more now: https://www.sanantoniopetsalive.org/ways-to-give/donate-now/monthly-giving

3. Volunteer: Cages need cleaning, adopters need greeting, and events need staffing. Volunteers make all the difference at SAPA!, and we're always looking for more. Learn about volunteering at https://www.sanantoniopetsalive.org/programs/volunteer

📣 Huge thanks to the Air Force Drill Instructor Unit at Lackland! 🇺🇸💙

We’re beyond grateful for the incredible generosity of the drill instructors and their families who came together to donate these amazing items for our pups. 🐾🐶 Your support means the world to us and the animals we care for!

Together, we’re making a difference—one donation at a time. 🐕💖

At San Antonio Pets Alive! (SAPA!), we love sharing heartwarming stories from our adopters and supporters—like this one about Laurel, a senior rescue dog who found her forever home and transformed the lives of the Callow family. 🐾

Here’s what the Callow's had to say about their beloved Laurel:

"Laurel is a daily joy to us. She’s the perfect office buddy and loves her twice-a-day walks, giving us all our much-needed exercise. While not a high-energy dog, she gets a spring in her step for her neighborhood tours, making new friends and getting along wonderfully with our other pets. When we adopted her, she was a senior wary of men, and her interactions with cats were unknown. But she has been a champ on all counts, proving that senior pets are full of love and potential.

We donate to SAPA monthly and are excited to be at least a small part of the best practices play yard."

The Callow family also emphasized the importance of SAPA!'s mission to address San Antonio's year-round breeding challenges by promoting spay/neuter efforts. As monthly donors, they’re proud to support initiatives like the best-practices play yard, which helps dogs awaiting their forever homes stay active, healthy, and ready to shine for adopters—just like Laurel did!

These stories remind us why our work matters and inspire us to keep pushing for a no-kill San Antonio. ❤️ Thank you, Callow family, for sharing your journey and supporting SAPA!’s lifesaving mission.
