Each clinic will perform 7,000 operations annually, adding to the 40,000 free and low-cost operations that ACS funds each year.
San Antonio is gearing up to open new spay and neuter clinics that will perform thousands of free and low-cost operations annually. The two operations are expected to open in January or February next year. City Council voted 10-0 on Thursday to approve five-year lease agreements for East and West side locations. One will run out of Las Palmas Mall on Castroville Road while the other will be in a stand-alone building at 1604 S. New Braunfels Ave. Both sites were former medical facilities.
