Animal Friends Humane Society

The numbers are staggering. . . More than 50,000 dogs, cats, puppies and kittens are euthanized each year in San Antonio. As a "no-kill" shelter, Animal Friends is working to save as many of those lives as we can - and we need your help.

What We Do

Animal Friends provides an escape from certain death for hundreds of dogs, puppies, cats and kittens in our community by providing temporary shelter until loving homes can be found. 

• At a no-kill shelter, pets are not put to sleep because of space restrictions or their appearance
• Giving pets on death row at other shelters a second chance for adoption
• Micro-chipping all pets offered for adoption to ensure they can be returned if they become lost
• Surgical spaying/neutering of all shelter pets to prevent unwanted animals
• Help educate the community on proper pet care and provide resources for those with questions  

Donations or Sponsorships will help faces like these. Or even better, come give'em a home.

UPDATE 1/2/2012Happy New YearYes, we are still here. And, yes, we still have about 36 dogs that need to be placed. Thanks to fellow rescues and community, we no longer have any cats. Please come by the shelter any day of the week between Noon and 3:00pm if you are looking to adopt or foster a dog. Time is of the essense.UPDATE 11/30/11In reference to Mr Conger, of KENS5, article today: Though Animal Friends is losing its physical location we still will still be working with our foster homes and actively looking for adopters for those foster pets needing permanent placement. We do not want our foster homes and volunteers to feel abandon, we are just at a different phase of our rescue mission.  Animal Friends has removed all of the roadblocks and wishes to continue forward through this transition. There are still so many little faces out there that need our help.Fostering can be very rewarding, if interested see our Volunteer/Foster page and contact us via email or call.Thank you for your continued support.UPDATE 11/15/11:

Animal Friends is under new management and though we are losing our physcial location we will still have animals in foster homes that will need to find their permanent home.

There have been several allegations made against our shelter the past few month, none of which have proven to be true.  We have had authorities from Bexar County and the City of San Antonio come out to our shelter and all have reported our shelter to be up to code.  Despite our eviction date of December 5th, Animal Friends will continue its mission of helping homeless animals and move forward. Our new management structure has nothing to do with these allegations and all to do with helping the animals find homes.  If anyone has room in their home to foster or adopt please contact us immediately. 

Don't lose your friend forever,

 micro-chip him/her.

Call the shelter for details.

Tags fall off, micro-chips don't.
