Programs and results

What we aim to solve

SOURCE: Self-reported by organization

During San Antonio Animal Care Services' (SAACS) 2023 fiscal year, over 30,000 animals came into SAACS. Of those, almost 10,000 were released to local rescue groups for proper care, vetting, and adoption screening. Despite the limitations placed on rescues and the community in general, rescue groups continued to provide an immense service to the community in helping and rehoming lost, injured, and abandoned animals. Most of our rescue members are small and do not have strong funding. They are, however, very effective at what they do for our community and its pets and can do more with support and assistance.

Goals & Strategy

Charting impact

Four powerful questions that require reflection about what really matters - results.

Ideally, San Antonio/Bexar County would have an almost 100% live release rate and see little to no homeless pets roaming the streets. Animals would not be disposable possessions but instead be a lifetime (for the pet's lifetime) joy and responsibility for their owners. This promotes community safety and well-being.

By providing funding for medical services to our rescue members, including spay/neuter procedures, we are contributing to reducing the number of unwanted animal reproduction. Also, by providing animal care education throughout the rescue and adoption process, we are educating current and future generations on the long-term
responsibility and care of their animals, thereby having an even longer term impact on reducing the homeless pet population. Our heartworm program is unique to AAPAW and provides heartworm treatments to rescue animals, thereby enabling rescue groups to more readily get animals healthy and adopted out. Through our good samaritan program, we assist good samaritans in treating found, injured animals, along with coordinating their treatment and adoption with the help of our rescue group members.
