Our Mission
About Us
We are a nonprofit 501c3 based in San Antonio, Texas. Formed in 2017, our mission is to rescue and find loving homes for adoptable cats and dogs. To fund our charitable animal rescue efforts we rely solely on the much-needed donations of our generous supporters. We can't do it without you!
We rehabilitate and then adopt our cats and dogs to amazing pet owners not only in San Antonio but throughout the country. We work with many local shelters, rescues, and individuals to save as many lives as we can.
Services We Offer
Adoptions, Fostering Program, Spay/Neuter Services, Medical Care, Animal Rescue/Transport, Public Education, Volunteer Program
Adoption Process
1. Submit an application.
2. Arrange a meet and greet.
3. Process the adoption contract on your phone.
Adoptions are processed and completed the same day as meet and greets. We do not hold animals for adoption and adopters should anticipate bringing their new pet home the same day. Adoption fees for cats are $100 & kittens (under 6 mo) $150; dogs $250 and puppies (under 6 mo) $300.
How to Meet Our Pets
Complete an online application (you can browse the webpage for specific pets of interest or submit a general application). Once we receive your application we will review it and then contact you to arrange a meet and greet. Adoptions are not finalized until an adoption contract is signed. Feel free to email us to follow up or ask questions at: [email protected].
