It's a fiesta for Fido, too! San Antonio Animal Care Services (SAACS) is throwing a Paw-Changa event to coincide with the city's famed Fiesta celebrations. Taking place Saturday, April 13, from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m., the event at their shelter on 4710 State Highway 151 is set to be a family-friendly extravaganza with a noble goal – to secure new homes for hundreds of pets in need. SAACS announced that this adoption party will feature a parade of foster dogs and a festive atmosphere to delight animal lovers and potential pet parents.
Prospective pet owners can hope to quickly fall in love with a furry friend amongst the multitude of adoption-ready animals. These dogs and cats aren't just cute faces – they come sterilized, microchipped with lifetime registration, and vaccinated with their first round of shots. SAACS is aiming to place up to 100 pets at the shindig, and to sweeten the deal, they're offering training sessions with the shelter's certified canine trainer for the new families.
The event promises more than just pet adoption. There's something for everyone, with free admission to Fiesta-themed attractions. A 'Paw'p Up' market will showcase local small businesses, while the rhythm of Folklorico dancers provides live entertainment. To satisfy the appetite, food trucks will serve up Fiesta favorites, and for the kiddos, DIY Fiesta medal crafts and story time with the San Antonio Public Library are on the agenda. Plus, don't miss the chance to snap that perfect selfie against a backdrop of vibrant colors. It's a bash blending charm and community spirit with a heartfelt purpose.
So if you're looking to expand your family with a four-legged member, Paw-Changa could be your spot. Remember, an adopted pet isn't just a friend – it's a life changed forever, and an empty spot in a shelter that can be filled by another animal in need. Don't wait to longingly gaze upon your potential new companion. Swing by SAACS on April 13 – it's a perfect opportunity to seriously consider bringing home more than just memories from Fiesta.
