Saving Pets
The Converse Animal Shelter is one of only a few no-kill shelters serving the San Antonio area.We began in 1982, operating a humane facility for unwanted and abused animals in Converse and working to place them in suitable homes throughout San Antonio. Since we are no-kill, we only take in animals as we adopt out others to make room.
We offer people a way to find a new best friend while saving a life, and opportunities to support responsible pet ownership and the humane treatment of animals.
Support
We are a 501(c)(3) organization supported through donations, grants, adoption fees and special events.
Donations are greatly appreciated and the IRS lets you deduct them from your federal income tax. Your monetary gifts provide food, shelter, loving care and so much more. Drop donations off at the shelter or mail them to:
Converse Animal Shelter
PO Box 644
Converse, TX 78109Also, bag up your recyclable soda and beer cans and leave them at our front gate. Recycling is an ongoing fundraiser.
Volunteer
You don’t have to be an animal expert to help, just someone who loves animals and wants to lend a hand. You can help us with:
- Administrative Support: Answer phones, enter data, do filing, snap photos or handle other tasks
- Socializing Cats: Groom, pet and play with them – make them purr
- Dog Walking and Training: Teach dogs to walk calmly or sit and shake paws so they'll be more adoptable
- Bathing and Grooming: Be prepared to get wet and have fun!
- Special Events: Bake sweets, help sell or assist with adoptions
