Who We Are

Animal Friends' mission is to provide temporary shelter for homeless puppies and dogs and kittens intil responsible, loving homes can be found. This is accomplished by a dedicated staff of employees, volunteers, and board members.

Animal Friends was established in the Spring of 2000 as a no-kill adoption shelter for San Antonio, Bexar County and the surrounding area.

Animal Friends is a 501(c)3 non-profit Texas corporation. All donations are tax deductible.
