Because Every Dog Deserves A Chance!

What We Do:

Provide an escape from certain death for hundreds of dogs and puppies in our community by providing temporary shelter and care until loving homes can be found. 

• At a no-kill shelter, pets are not euthanized because of space restrictions or their appearance
• Giving unwanted pets a second chance for happiness; saving lives that others toss away 
• 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 and help them live long, healthy lives
• All pets offered for adoption are fully vaccinated
• Help educate the community on proper pet care and provide resources for those with questions
• Provide rehabilitation and treatment for those dogs traumatized by abuse, neglect or injury

 As a 501(c)3 non-profit Texas corporation, all donations are tax deductible.

  

  Our History

Our oganization was established as a no-kill shelter in May of 2000, devoted to helping the homeless and unwanted animals in this city find responsible, loving homes. Animal Friends, now Heart of Tx SPCA, is a 501 (c) 3 non-profit Texas corporation. We do not receive any city or county funding and survive solely on public donations and adoption fees. Heart of Tx SPCA is a  K-9 Rescue with the same mission, same goals and expanded resources. Our programs will allow us to help even more homelss pets in and around Bexar county.

 Did you know- more than 50,000 animals are euthanized each year in just San Antonio alone. As a "no-kill" shelter in a county with the third largest euthanisia rate in the country, our organization is working to save as many of those helpless lives as we can; but we can't do it alone.

Every and any donations counts in helping us with our mission.

George Lopez says,

 "Adopt from HOTSPCA" .

Our dog, Rocco, got to meet Mr. Lopez at one of our adoption events and then went home with him. YUP, Rocco is an LA dog now and living it up. 

The need for rescue never stops and our medical expenses area big part of the burden that come with rescue. Please help us help them.

          Don't lose your friend forever,

 micro-chip him/her and make sure to register the chip information.

Call the shelter or your veterinarian for details on getting your pet chipped.

Tags fall off, micro-chips don't.
