San Antonio Pets Alive
San Antonio Pets Alive is a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization working with municipal & local partners to make San Antonio a no-kill community.
We are San Antonio Pets Alive!, a life-saving organization that rescues dogs and cats at risk of being euthanized. We save these animals after all other options have been exhausted. Our vision is to end the practice of euthanizing dogs and cats in need of homes.
San Antonio Pets Alive! is not a shelter. We are a life-saving organization founded on the tenet: Killing is not a solution. It is our obligation to find life-saving solutions. San Antonio Pets Alive! (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 euthanized at the City’s shelter. In 2012 SAPA! launched its model of pulling animals at the city shelter who were kenneled, awaiting euthanasia, to save their lives. In our now five-year history, SAPA! has saved the lives of over 35,000 dogs and cats with no other hope. San Antonio now consistently realizes a save-rate in the eightieth percentile, some months at ninety percent. The model saves the lives of dogs and cats no one else will help; 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, hit by cars, heartworm positive or abandoned.

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 revenue from programs and services, contracts with the city, and donations. We depend on donations more than any other source. Every dollar you give is a dollar we can use to save lives. Consider giving monthly and joining the ranks of our guardians. Learn more now: www.sanantoniopetsalive.org/guardian-monthly-giving-program/
3. Volunteer: Dogs need walking and cats need cuddling. 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 sanantoniopetsalive.org/volunteer/
