They benefit not only to the animals but also their people.
Animal Aid Foundation
CanadaAnimals/Wildlife
Animal Aid Foundation is a volunteer-based, charitable fundraising organization. The Foundation does not have paid staff and does not receive government funding. It relies on volunteer contributions, public donations and corporate support. Animal overpopulation, caused by pets that are left un-spayed and un-neutered as well as puppy mills, has created a crisis in our community. Our streets and alleys are home to hundreds of unwanted cats. And thousands of unwanted cats and dogs are sitting in shelters waiting to be adopted. Over-breeding results in homeless animals being confined to cages or euthanized simply because there is not enough room for them all. Animal Aid Foundation provides grants to financially support the projects and activities of local animal charities. Priority areas of interest are spay/neuter, veterinary medical care, adoption and public education programs.

ADL began with just a few makeshift chicken-wire cages in response to a need to shelter stray and injured dogs and cats in the San Antonio area. Along with providing basic shelter and care, emphasis has always been placed on adopting animals to homes where they will receive loving care and attention for the rest of their lives. We enhance the quality of life for abandoned, abused, or neglected dogs and cats by providing needed medical care, including spaying and neutering. Food, shelter, and safety are also provided – along with compassion and attention. While maintaining a healthy and loving facility, ADL consistently works to find the best possible home for each resident animal.
