ADOPT A PET
When you adopt a pet from a shelter or other rescue organization, you save a life.
When you adopt from San Antonio Pets Alive! you open up a kennel for another dog or cat.
*** UPDATE! Due to COVID-19, all locations are appointment only. To meet a dog or cat at one of our locations, please schedule an appointment.
To schedule an appointment at Building One @ Animal Care Services, please email placement@sanantoniopetsalive.org. To schedule an appointment at our Medical Clinic, please email appointment@sanantoniopetsalive.org. Thank you!

All applications are reviewed and must be accepted by our trained counselors before a pet is adopted. Please allow 24-48 hours for our adoption team to contact you in regards to your application.
