Nearly a hundred animals come through shelters door every single day in San Antonio, equating to thousands a month. It's a critical point for the city's animals, and San Antonio Pets Alive! needs your help providing life-saving solutions through its expanded Headin' Home transport program.

What is the Headin' Home Program?

This programs sends at-risk dogs + puppies to rescue partners in other parts of the US — even to other countries — where space is available. These are usually places like the Pacific Northwest, the Mid-Atlantic, Northeast, Wisconsin and even Canada.

By partnering with other animal rescue organizations, it ensures these dogs find loving families and get a fresh start. Recently the organization added three new vehicles to its fleet:

Sprinter van (holds 35-40 crates)
Donated bus (holds 90 crates)
Smaller van (holds 25 crates)
