My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Hi, I’m Xena.

I know… when you walk by my kennel, I probably don’t give you the best first impression. I bark. I growl. I look like I want you to go away. But please, don’t take it personally — I’m just really scared in here. I’m 11 years old, and I lived in the same home for 10 years. That was my whole world — my people, my bed, my routine. I don’t understand why I’m here, and the stress makes me act tough. But truthfully? I’m not tough at all. I’m just anxious and heartbroken.

Take me out of the kennel, and you’ll see the real me. I’m gentle. Sweet. I warm up quickly, and I love to be near you. I still wag my tail. I still have so much love to give. I just need someone patient enough to give me a chance to show it. I’m not a puppy anymore — I’m past the zoomies and chaos. What I want now is peace. A calm home. A soft place to rest. Someone to love me for who I am, even if I’m a little rough around the edges at first.

Love,
Xena 🐾

More about this rescue

Our mission is to provide the programs and services needed to eliminate the killing of at-risk animals due to lack of space, adopter or foster.

San Antonio Pets Alive! is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization. Due to alarming euthanasia rates, San Antonio Pets Alive! (SAPA!) was founded in 2012. SAPA! is unique—it is the only high paced, high-volume rescue in San Antonio, saving 6,000 at-risk cats and dogs annually.

Since its inception, SAPA! has saved more than 47,000 dogs and cats. SAPA! provides safety nets for the dogs and cats that fall through the cracks of all other lifesaving options and end up on the euthanasia lists, often with just hours to be saved. SAPA! promotes the availability of these dogs and cats to other rescues, adopters and fosters.

Email adopt@sanantoniopetsalive.org if you have any
questions.

If you are interested in fostering an animal, please visit our website and fill out our online Foster Application. The more foster homes we have the more animals we can pull off the euthanasia list and the more lives we can save together!

For more information on fostering email us at foster@sanantoniopetsalive.org
