​​Our Programs​​

 

Spay & Neuter Assistance

By funding spay and neuter surgeries, AAPAW helps address pet overpopulation at its source.

Outcomes include:​

​

• Fewer unwanted litters

• Reduced strain on rescue organizations

• Long-term cost savings for the animal welfare system

Heartworm Treatment Support

Heartworm disease remains one of the most common obstacles to adoption for dogs entering

rescue. Through financial assistance for treatment:

​

• Dogs receive lifesaving care

• Rescue organizations can accept dogs they otherwise could not

• Treated dogs are able to move into permanent, loving homes

Good Samaritan & Emergency Support

When a concerned citizen encounters an injured, stray animal in the San Antonio area, AAPAW helps bridge the gap between compassion and action. Through small, matching grants, this support:

​

• Encourages responsible community involvement

• Prevents animals from falling through the cracks

• Strengthens trust between the public and rescue organizations

Community Collaboration

Founded in 2007, AAPAW has built lasting partnerships with rescue organizations throughout the region.

Our collaborative model:

​

• Reduces duplication of effort

• Maximizes the impact of donor dollars

• Strengthens the overall animal welfare network

 

Rather than operating in isolation, AAPAW serves as a central support system, ensuring that limited resources are deployed where they are needed most.
