Calling all pet lovers and party enthusiasts in San Antonio! The city's largest pet adoption event, the Paw-changa Adoption Fiesta, is opening its gates soon, with a VIP experience up for grabs. According to an announcement on the official City of San Antonio website, the Fiesta is scheduled for Saturday, April 12, from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. This event isn't just about giving adorable animals a new home—it's a full-blown celebration with live entertainment and various family activities to enjoy.
For those interested in getting a head start, VIP tickets are now available for $25 and can be purchased online. These tickets will allow holders to quickly enter the adoption areas, enjoy free parking, and to easily take a trolley to the venue. VIP perks also include an official San Antonio Animal Care Services 2025 Fiesta medal, event t-shirt, and a complimentary week of doggie daycare at Dogtopia, as detailed by the City of San Antonio announcement. Additionally, VIPs can partake in a special Zumba class, presumably to shake off some excitement before meeting potential new furry family members.
The organizers have set an ambitious goal of finding homes for 200 pets at this year's Paw-changa Adoption Fiesta. All animals adopted from the San Antonio Animal Care Services will come spayed or neutered, microchipped with lifetime registration, and vaccinated with their first round of shots. For those new pet parents, San Antonio Animal Care Services is also offering training sessions with their certified canine trainer to ensure a smooth transition into pet ownership, as per the City of San Antonio.
