Thanks to our incredible team and community, we provided a remarkable number of preventative services:

78 Rabies vaccines
53 DAPP vaccines
34 FRVCP vaccines
30 Pet license
14 Microchips

A massive thank you to Petco Love Vaccine project for their generous Vaccine Donation, Target for sending 3 of their workers to help volunteer, Portrait Barne and to Dr. Curic for partnering with us to serve Aransas County. We truly appreciate your dedication to animal welfare and our community!

It took a village to unpack this mass donation :). Aransas County Animal Care cannot thank the Coast Bend Community Supervision and Corrections Department enough for their overwhelming generosity. This incredible donation of pet food, valued at an estimated $4,000, is a massive blessing that will touch and sustain so many lives in our care. We are truly moved by your kindness and support for our shelter family and its community!!!!!

This week is volunteer appreciation week, so we would like to take a moment to shed a spotlight our highly dedicated and passionate volunteer, Sarah.
Sarah has been volunteering for Aransas County Animal Care for over a year, and has been an amazing addition to our shelter team.
Sarah works very hard socializing the animals, grooming the dogs, helps us with leash training, provides additional help around the shelter, and so much more. Our team would not be complete without her. Thank you, Sarah, for all that you do for our team and our animals.
