Surrendering a Pet

The San Antonio Humane Society (SAHS) is the only large public intake shelter in San Antonio to have regularly scheduled intake appointments for individuals attempting to find placement for owned, lost, or stray pets. We are a nonprofit, no-kill organization that does not euthanize for space. We regularly operate near or at capacity. This means we are only able to receive dogs and cats as others are adopted and space becomes available. Please note that to surrender a pet 4 months and older an up-to-date rabies vaccine is required!

All intake takes place at our Leeu Naylor Medical Building!

Intake Process

Surrender Fees

In order to help offset the cost of pet care while in the shelter, we require a scheduling fee at the time we contact you to schedule the intake appointment. This fee is based on the pet’s age, species, and any additional required testing.

Please note if the payment is not received, we cannot reserve the appointment.

All animals are vaccinated upon intake and will be spayed/neutered before going home to their new adopters. All potential pet owners are screened and interviewed before adoption to ensure each pet finds the best-fitting home for them.
