SAN ANTONIO — With the arrival of August comes a new mission for San Antonio Pets Alive! (SAPA!) as the rescue organization continues to work at keeping shelter populations low.
SAPA! is embarking on an effort to save 1,000 cats and dogs over a 60-day period ending Sept. 30, and the organization is looking for community members willing to help. Those willing to foster or adopt a furr-ever friend can visit one of SAPA's three locations or visit the organization's website to find a dog or cat they're willing to welcome home.
Pets can be fostered for free to get them out of a shelter, but that isn't the only way you can lend a hand; SAPA! says you can also donate to help make someone else's adoption journey easier. Those donations help cover the costs of vaccines, spaying and neutering.
SAPA! is kicking off its mission Thursday evening at Rock & Brews along Landmark Parkway, on the far northwest side. The eatery is donating 15% of all Thursday sales at the event to help animals in need, and the adoption event will run from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m.
