Over 42,000 were euthanized last year by animal control. Many of our dogs and cats come from San Antonio, yet we receive no funding from Bexar County or any other jurisdiction. SARA's purpose is to alleviate suffering of unwanted and abused companion animals and to provide as many as possible with a permanent, quality home. SARA is committed to helping any dog or cat regardless of its condition upon arrival. First, we provide the animals with any immediate medical needs and rehabilitation.
All animals live in spacious communal enclosures, and no animal is ever confined alone.
If, for any reason, an animal adopted from our sanctuary needs to be returned, they will be welcomed back immediately. Those that are not adoptable make SARA their permanent home. SARA is not affiliated with any other Sanctuary. However, we do support the efforts of all no-kill animal sanctuaries and work in conjunction with many other animal advocacy groups and shelters for the benefit of animals. We rely on and maintain the Sanctuary through the help of volunteers and welcome anyone interested at any time.
