San Antonio Humane Society

The San Antonio Humane Society (SAHS) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, no-kill organization that has served Bexar County and its surrounding areas since 1952. Our Mission is to protect and improve the lives of dogs and cats by providing shelter, care, adoption, rescue, spay/neuter services, and community education programs. Every year, the SAHS shelters, medically treats, and rehabilitates approximately 5,000 animals. Many have been injured, abused, surrendered by their owners, or found as strays, and they remain in our care until adopted. Through our community outreach and engagement efforts, including our summer and spring kids’ camps, we remind the public of the importance of responsible pet ownership. This includes spay/neutering dogs and cats, microchipping, keeping up to date with vaccinations, and treating all animals humanely. As a no-kill organization, the SAHS treats and cares for healthy pets and pets needing medical attention, reserving euthanasia only for untreatable animals. We are not affiliated with the Humane Society of the United States (HSUS) or the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (ASPCA) and do not receive regular financial support from them. We believe by donating local, our community can continue to help us further our mission to protect and improve the lives of dogs and cats.
