According to a news release by the animal shelter, the pets are all resting in the shelter’s medical clinic and require medical treatment and care before finding their “fur-ever” home.

“These precious dogs and cats need heartworm treatment, vaccines, preventatives, and even a third eyelid removal surgery,” the shelter said in a statement. “The total cost to cover their medical expenses is approximately $1,385.”

The shelter said that any remaining funds it may receive after covering the medical costs for the animals would be used to help animals saved every year at the San Antonio location.
