At the San Antonio Humane Society, we make every effort to find the best home for the pets in our care. Sadly, many of the dogs and cats that come to us have been abused, neglected, injured or have chronic illnesses. These injured or ill animals are treated based on the funds available at the time of intake or illness. Through the Michaels Medical Rescue Fund, you can choose to make a contribution to a special needs animal. This will decrease the costs associated with the provision of necessary medical care they need and deserve. Once these animals are healthy, they will then be available to the public for adoption. We appreciate any contribution offered.

Paco
 
Recently, the San Antonio Humane Society received an adult Boxer with a gunshot wound to his abdomen. To determine the severity of his injury, he was rushed into surgery at the shelter. His owner stated that this was the 2nd time one of his dogs had been shot in Medina County; his previous dog did pass away as a result.

The Boxer, who was Heartworm Positive, came out of surgery in critical condition and it was concluded that the bullet damaged his lower intestine in 3 places.  Unfortunately, he did not survive through the night.

Please donate to Michaels Medical Rescue Fund to help other animals in need.

Freckles

Freckles is an Australian Cattle dog mix. It was found that this cute pup has had a previous shoulder injury which had caused radial nerve damage to the lower leg.  This injury could have been caused by pulling on the leg, picking him up by the leg only, or being hit by a car. Unfortunately, Freckles had to have his leg amputated.  He will be rehabilitated after surgery (as you can see on the video he's doing great) by the Humane Society staff and then put up for adoption.
