WE NEED YOU TO “Lend AAPAW”

Thank you for your support. AAPAW is an all-volunteer organization. There are no paid employees. Every donation of time and/or money brings us one paw closer to creating a more humane and viable San Antonio — a San Antonio where all pets are responsibly cared for, where residents are actively spaying and neutering their animals, and where every pet can find a good home.

AAPAW’s mission also affects the city’s economic development efforts. Companies looking to relocate and expand take into consideration a city’s view on how humanely it treats its animals. Decreasing the stray animal population by preventing unwanted births through spay and neuter programs is also paramount to public health.

From an economic standpoint, the pet industry is one of the fastest growing sectors in a declining economy, worth $225 billion annually. Every San Antonio pet that stays alive and has a home is providing an annual revenue stream for many local pet-related businesses and contributing toward tax revenues for the city.

Here are some of the many ways you can help AAPAW–
