Established in 1946, the San Antonio Area Foundation is built on a model of connecting donors with the causes they care about. Since 2007, the foundation’s strategic project Talk About It! has dedicated itself to making San Antonio a no-kill city by addressing pet overpopulation via the mantra “Care. Adopt. Neuter.” Presented by the Petco Foundation with support from City Councilman Cris Medina, the initiative’s Bark in the Park—Perrito Grito brings together nonprofit organizations and for-profit businesses for a fun-filled pet fiesta in the park. Bringing back many of the features that attracted 5,000 attendees to Woodlawn Lake last year, the third annual event includes free spay, neuter and microchipping services, low-cost vaccinations, pet adoptions, contests (best dressed, best trick, and pet/owner look-a-like) and food trucks, plus live music by local favorites Los #3 Dinners.
