Since October, San Antonio Pets Alive! has rescued 92 distemper and suspected distemper dogs and puppies. The shelter is asking for donations to help cover medical expenses.

When the floppy-eared mixed-breed puppy arrived at San Antonio Pets Alives medical clinic on the citys far West Side, his name was Jupiter. Inside the walls of the San Antonio Pets Alive (SAPA) medical clinic, Jupiter got a chance at life and health, and eventually a new owner and a new name. While he was in the parvo ward, he would not get better, said Lexi Christie, SAPA clinic manager. In addition to the medical clinic, SAPA maintains several other shelter locations around the city in partnership with retailers Petco and Petsmart. Odin would probably be dead without SAPA, Christie said, and animal welfare is important to humans because all life is interconnected.
