Reporting Animal Cruelty
If you witness any animal cruelty including the chaining of dogs or animals not having access to food, shade, shelter, water or needed veterinary care, DOCUMENT what you see with pictures or video to supply to the Animal Cruelty Investigator. You DO NOT have to provide your name.
If those contacts do not produce results, contact the Manager of Field Operations at Animal Care Services (formerly the dog pound) at (210) 270-6657. Documenting the cruelty with photographs or video to share with law enforcement is very helpful.
Spay/Neuter Resources
San Antonio has come a long way in our struggle to reduce the numbers of homeless animals, but there is still much to do. You can help by having all your companion animals spayed (if female) or neutered (if male). In addition to lowering the population of homeless and unloved animals, other advantages include a reduced desire to roam and an increased lifespan.
Your veterinarian can perform the surgery or you can look to one of several Spay/Neuter clinics in San Antonio, most of which require appointments. If you live in one of the listed zip codes, you may also qualify for free surgery while funding is available. For a list of area clinics, visit San Antonio Animal Care Services. If you live outside the city limits or in an unlisted zip code, clinics may still offer low-cost services.
Proof of Residency
Most clinics in the city will need you to show them an ID or a bill with your address. Before you take your pet to the clinic, check with them about what you need to prove where you live.
It costs $350/month to keep our banner flying. You can help spread the word by donating.
