SAN ANTONIO (Dec. 7, 2020) – Animal Care Services is joining BISSELL Pet Foundation for an adoption event filled with hope…and hounds! The philanthropic organization is hosting Empty the Shelters-Holiday Hope event December 9th-13th at the San Antonio shelter with reduced adoption fees of $25 for dogs and $15 for cats. All adoptions are by appointment only and social distancing guidelines, including the use of face masks or coverings on campus, are required. ACS is located at 4710 State Highway 151. 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

Animal Care reminds residents that although pets may feel like a gift because of the joy they bring, being a pet parent is a long-term commitment that should be made thoughtfully. All pets adopted during the Holiday Hope event are sterilized, vaccinated and microchipped with a lifetime registration included. ACS will open additional appointments throughout the event to accommodate prospective pet parents; however walk ins will be accommodated only as space is available.
