Alive offer free adoptions for dogs and puppies – mySA

If youre looking for a sign to add a new furry member to your family, here it is. You can adopt a dog or puppy at a San Antonio animal shelter for free this weekend.

Happening now through Sunday, October 16, San Antonio Pets Alive is waiving all adoption fees on dogs and puppies at all three of its locations. This does not include dogs in foster care.

They are in despite need to free up kennel space to help more animals in need. So when you adopt a pet, youre helping save another life but creating space.

According to SAPAs executive director Rebecca Mayberry, there have been more Code Red days in the past four years. That's when 25 or more dogs are being "released to euthanasia by San Antonio Animal Care Services in one day."

San Antonio Pets Alive staff are then notified and spring into action by alerting supporters, rescue partners, and fosters. Back in August, a total of 127 puppies and dogs were scheduled to be euthanized due to capacity. Staff stepped in to help 56 of those puppies and dogs. The remaining animals were placed in transitional kennels, partnered with other rescue organizations, and found placement through the foster program.

Here are all three San Antonio Pets Alive locations:

Petco Love Adoption Center at 6001 NW Loop 410, San Antonio, TX 78238. Medical Care Center at 9107 Marbach Road, Suite 109, San Antonio, TX 78245. Rescue Center at Animal Care Services 4710 Highway 151, San Antonio, TX 78227.
