SAN ANTONIO (July 5, 2021) - Animal Care Services is joining the BISSELL Pet Foundation for an adoption event filled with hopeā€¦and hounds! The philanthropic organization is sponsoring an Empty the Shelters event July 7th to July 11th at the San Antonio shelter with reduced adoption fees of just $25 for dogs and $5 for cats. All pets adopted during Empty the Shelters event are sterilized, vaccinated, and microchipped with a lifetime registration included. Animal Care reminds residents that being a pet parent is a long-term commitment that should be made thoughtfully, and adopters can get started before even coming in by using ACS' online resources:

  • Check out the shelter's dog and cats: saacs.info/petsearch
  • Make an appointment for meet and greets or adoption: saacs.info/adopt


Adoption appointments are strongly encouraged to guarantee entry during the event; however, ACS allows walk-ins as space permits. Standard adoptions processes apply, and ACS cannot place holds on any pets-adoptions are first come, first served. ACS is located at 4710 State Highway 151.
