San Antonio Animal Care Services (SAACS) is hosting the Paw-changa event, a pet adoption event with a fiesta theme. The event will take place this Saturday from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. at the shelter located at 4710 State Highway 151. It will feature family-friendly activities, entertainment, and an opportunity to adopt pets in need of a new home.
Adoption fees for the day are $50, which includes your new pet and some additional items. Each adopter will receive an official 2025 ACS Fiesta Medal and a goodie bag, while supplies last.
