SAN ANTONIO – Animal Care Services is bringing a new neighborhood-based pet support effort to District 7, aiming to help residents address animal concerns through education and direct resources.

San Antonio Animal Care Services and District 7 Councilmember Marina Alderete Gavito are collaborating on a grassroots project designed to empower residents with increased education and resources, according to a press release from the city.

The effort will run Thursday, July 30, from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. at Gilbert Garza Park, 1450 Mira Vista, 78228. District 7 staff, San Antonio Animal Care Services staff and community volunteers are expected to take part.

The initiative will use the Pet Care Connect program, which provides education, pet food, supplies and support to help families care for their pets and reduce animal concerns at the neighborhood level.

The month-long project will focus on the Culebra Park neighborhood and include neighborhood canvassing, engagement and resource distribution.
