A city-controlled spay and neuter clinic on the South Side is expected to reopen this summer after months of decreased or non-existent operations.
The San Antonio City Council approved a new agreement Thursday for the Spay-Neuter Assistance Program to operate the Brooks Spay and Neuter Clinic. SNAP will perform 6,500 low-cost or free surgeries per year at the facility in the 8000 block of City Base Landing.
The San Antonio Humane Society had operated the Brooks clinic for six years, until Feb. 1. Though, even before that point, Animal Care Services said the nonprofit had reduced its operations for much of 2022. ACS statistics showed SAHS’s surgeries dropped off some in the first two years of the COVID-19 pandemic.
In any case, the result was the shuttering of a clinic on the South Side, which Oster-Gabrielson said is “in desperate need of services, especially having low-cost vet services.”
