SAN ANTONIO – Tired of relationships that aren’t working out? Looking for a long-term commitment?
As a part of its Valentine’s Day special, San Antonio Pets Alive! said finding a “fur”-ever companion may be easier than before.
The nonprofit’s Valentine’s Day special will take place at the following three locations:
- Rescue Center — Building 1 (4710 State Highway 151; San Antonio, TX 78227)
- Marbach Medical Care & Adoption Center (9107 Marbach Road, Suite 109; San Antonio, TX 78245)
- Petco Love Adoption Center (6001 Northwest Loop 410, Suite 103; San Antonio, TX 78238)
KSAT interviewed SAPA Director of Community Engagement Justine Grier about the event.
KSAT: What is this special about?
Grier: “We do have a waived adoption fee special with a monetary donation of the adopter’s choice starting on Feb. 14th through 16th (which) includes all puppies, dogs, cats and kittens.”
KSAT: What makes a forever puppy, dog, or kitten a great Valentine’s Day gift for a loved one or for the family?
Grier: “Because they just have so much love to give, unconditional love. A pet just gives unconditional love. They are just so thankful once they are rescued in their forever home.”
KSAT: What medical services does the pet come with?
Grier: “All pets are spayed and neutered, microchipped and up-to-date on all appropriate vaccines and also flea and tick prevention and heartworm prevention.”
KSAT: How is this a lifetime commitment?
Grier. “Exactly. It’s a very long time (sic) commitment for sure. Our pet adoption counselors make sure and try to set their owners up for success. If someone is not ready for a long-term commitment, we are in need of foster families, as well.”
KSAT: A popular pet microchipping company in Texas shut down earlier this week. Does SAPA work with that company?
Grier: “No. We are not associated with that microchip company. We use 24PetWatch for all our microchips. You get automatically registered, and it’s free for adopters, as well.”
