There Are Many Ways to Make a Difference
AAPAW’s work is made possible by people who care deeply about animals and want to support responsible, effective solutions.
Whether you give financially, volunteer your time, or participate in community events, your involvement helps strengthen animal rescue efforts across the San Antonio region.
Every role matters — and every action contributes to lifesaving impact.
Support Our Work
Financial support allows AAPAW to fund prevention programs, lifesaving medical care, and emergency assistance for animals in need.
Because AAPAW works behind the scenes to support many rescue organizations, your gift is leveraged across the entire rescue community — multiplying its reach and effectiveness.
Share Your Time & Talent
Volunteers play an important role in advancing AAPAW’s mission, from event support to administrative assistance and community outreach.
Whether you have a few hours or ongoing availability, volunteering helps extend our impact and keeps programs running efficiently.
Engage With the Community
Community events bring people together around a shared commitment to animal welfare while directly supporting AAPAW’s programs.
Events such as Trails Fur Tails help fund prevention and medical assistance while raising awareness about responsible animal care.
Why Getting Involved Matters
AAPAW exists to strengthen the animal welfare system — not duplicate it.
Your involvement helps:
-
Prevent pet overpopulation
-
Remove medical barriers to adoption
-
Support rescue organizations at scale
-
Ensure compassionate action is met with effective resources
Together, these efforts create lasting impact for animals and the community.
Find the Right Fit for You
