San Antonio Pets Alive’s need for fosters continues as AC repairs are expected to take three weeks.

The nonprofit organization originally made a plea to the public for help after its AC unit went out at its West Side facility on July 3.

“SAPA! feels these conditions are unsuitable for housing dogs and would like to hold off on housing any animals in the building until the air conditioning unit is permanently fixed,” officials said.

Fosters will be provided with all necessary supplies and support for volunteers.
