Heartworm infection is a serious problem in San Antonio and its surrounding areas. Due to our warm, wet climate, the mosquitoes, which carry juvenile heartworms prolifically, can spread the parasites to many animals-- even humans. A great number of dogs coming into our shelter are afflicted with heartworm infection, and must be treated before they can go to their new homes.

Read our Press Release to see how you can adopt a

stuffed Build-A-Bear "Malti-Poo" and help Heartworm Positive Dogs.

At the Humane Society/SPCA of Bexar County, we make every effort to find the best home for the pets in our care.

Sadly, many of the dogs and cats that come to us have been abused, neglected, injured or have chronic illnesses.

These injured or ill animals are treated based on the funds available at the time of intake or illness.
Through the Michaels' Medical Rescue Fund, you can choose to make a contribution to a special needs animal.

This will decrease the costs associated with the provision of necessary medical care they need and deserve.

Once these animals are healthy, they will then be available to the public for adoption.

We appreciate any contribution offered.

It’s a fact: older animals have a much harder and longer time becoming adopted.

The Humane Society/SPCA of Bexar County is a limited intake facility that does not euthanize animals for space.

Your contributions to our Guardian Angel Program make it possible for us to reduce the adoption fees associated

with older animals housed at our facility, thus increasing their chances of adoption.

We appreciate all of your efforts to help our animals find their forever homes.
