SAN ANTONIO (July 18, 2025)  Grab a cup of joe, meet a pet in need and make a difference. Local pet lovers can do all three this Sunday, July 20 at Community, Coffee and Canines, an open house at San Antonio Animal Care Services. The event will take place from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the municipal shelter, located at 4710 State Highway 151 off Old Highway 90 near the San Antonio Food Bank.

During the open house, attendees can:

  • Walk a shelter dog and meet adoptable pets
  • Enjoy a free Dutch Bros Coffee drink 
  • Give a shelter dog a canine-friendly sweet treat with free pup cups
  • Learn more about ongoing volunteer and foster opportunities to help the city’s shelter pets
