Strategic Priority II. Reduce the Number of Stray/Homeless Animals
Achieving a “no kill” goal by 2012 requires a dramatic reduction in the number of stray and homeless animals in the City of San Antonio. This strategic priority outlines a number of initiatives to do that, including expanding the accessibility of free and low cost spay/neuter programs as well as implementing a Trap Neuter and Return Program (TNR) for feral cats. It also seeks to increase the number of animal adoptions by providing multiple adoption sites throughout the City. Finally, it seeks to increase both owner retention of animals and owner reclaim from the Animal Care Services Department.
