With the euthanasia of homeless dogs up 22% in just the first quarter of 2022 alone, BISSELL Pet Foundation and Cathy Bissell are aiming to “Empty the Shelters” by sponsoring reduced adoption fees of $25 from July 11-31.

This event is hosted in more than 275 shelters in 40 states, including San Antonio Pets Alive!.

ALL kittens, cats, puppies, and dogs that are adopted at one of our locations during "Empty the Shelters" have an adoption fee of $25! (Excluding our ambassador animals.)

We encourage you to stop by one of our locations or visit our website to find the perfect pet to adopt!

Congratulations to our fantastic foster, Michele Villereal, for being nominated by San Antonio Pets Alive!'s foster team as July's foster of the month!

Michele was inspired to help animals in need after losing her beloved dog of 18 years, Kylie. Michele said, "I foster because my heart isn't ready to adopt yet. I miss having a pet around to keep me company, so I decided to open up my home and help animals in need."

Michele is always willing to lend a helping hand. She fosters puppies and large dogs recovering from injuries. In between fostering, she willingly picks up pups from our different locations and takes them to adoption events to help them get adopted. Michele also volunteers to take her fosters to news interviews and shares her fostering experience to encourage others. She is currently fostering Bailey, an adult dog now that is healing from a femoral head ostectomy, and is currently undergoing heartworm treatment. In addition, she is temporarily fostering a puppy from our Petco adoption center.  

We are grateful for Michele and are lucky to have her help! Michele has been a foster for less than a year and has already made a significant difference to our lifesaving mission. 

We need your help! Our lifesaving efforts have not slowed down. Many puppies, dogs, kittens, and cats urgently need foster families. Support, supplies, and your foster's medical care are provided by San Antonio Pets Alive!. 

Can you help? Please email foster@sanantoniopetsalive.org.

Droopy is an adorable 3-month-old puppy. He is outgoing and lovable! He is a goofy, social pup! Droppy always has a smile on his face! He is eager to explore the world outside of the kennel. He is at a great age to be in a foster home and be with someone who can teach him manners and be ready to find his forever family. 

This momma is adoption ready! She would do great in a foster home, while she waits for her forever home. Java has a beautiful dilute calico coat and her sweet personality, she would be the perfect addition to a family that can give her all the head scratches and sun-patch cat napping that she desires. 

Daisy is a 1-year-old female who is intact and weighs 50 lbs. She came in with her six puppies that have since weaned, and she is working on drying up so she can be spayed! She is so sweet and gentle with everyone she meets. She has done well meeting male and female dogs. 

Juno likes to keep to herself but will head bump you for pets. Her raspy voice is the cutest thing. She enjoys her naps and likes to people watch. She has been in our care for more than 100 days and has not had any luck finding her forever family. 

Thank you to our media partners, Kens 5, News 4, Univision, and San Antonio Report for featuring our lifesaving work and the Code Reds occurring in our city. Your support has helped us spread awareness and bring light to what is going on in the animal welfare sector.
