We work year-round to save the most vulnerable dogs and cats in our city, including those most at risk during the brutal summer heat. You can be part of this mission by fostering, adopting, or donating to support our lifesaving programs.

San Antonio Pets Alive!’s Transport Program is giving local homeless pets a second chance—hundreds of miles away. By flying dogs and cats from overcrowded shelters in San Antonio to adoption-ready communities across the country, SAPA! is opening hearts, homes, and kennel space. Learn how you can foster, fund, or follow along as we fly pets toward their forever families.

At SAPA!, we know that saving lives means more than rescue—it’s about giving every dog the chance to thrive. Meet Nic Appling, our Behavior and Enrichment Specialist, who’s helping pups feel safe, confident, and ready for forever homes. From staff support to foster tips, Nic ensures every tail keeps wagging.
