With one of the largest stray pet populations in the country, many San Antonians are unaware of the many rescue groups and shelters who selflessly serve to assist pet owners and adopters in finding and providing loving homes for homeless pets. It is our hope that by providing an accurate and comprehensive list of pet rescue and shelter sites, as well as some of their events, more pets will be united with their forever homes.
