Animal Care Services

Animal Care Services Director Jonathan Gary said the agency was on track to reach its goal of responding to 100% of critical response calls by early 2026.

The new clinic is part of Animal Care Services' goal to sterilize 40,000 pets per year.

Pets previously registered through the Austin-based Save This Life may be at risk of not being identified if they become lost. The Texas ID company recently shuttered its operations.

The new spay and neuter clinics will open soon on the city's East and West sides.

He takes the helm of ACS as it expands its field operations, customer service, and spay and neuter staff to respond to heightening complaints over animal safety and animal welfare problems in San Antonio.

The budget includes $10 million in cuts across the city and some new fees for residents on garbage carts and city event tickets, but no new taxes.

The San Antonio City Council has green-lighted five-year lease agreements for spay and neuter clinics on the East and West Sides.

The interactive map enables residents to view where such potential threats are located throughout the city. Details include the specific address and how many 'dangerous dogs' are at the location.

'It's a very hard problem, and the city has ignored it forever, and now it's a big problem because people are actually dying,' said Vicki Steerman, founder of Charlie's Legacy Dog Rescue and an advocate for responsible dog ownership in San Antonio.

A grand jury returned four charges against the owner of two dogs who killed an elderly man and injured his wife earlier this year.
