More than 32,000 cats and dogs were brought to Animal Care Services last year, and all of them made their way through the city’s veterinary clinic.

The 3,000-square-foot clinic handles vaccinations, sterilizations, emergency medical care, and other treatment. The facility is primarily for animals without a known owner.

Work is set to begin, however, on a $15.3 million project to renovate the clinic and build a new veterinary hospital next door, nearly five times its size.

ACS officials said this will allow them to provide better treatment and reduce euthanasia on campus.

The San Antonio City Council unanimously passed a construction contract with F.A. Nunnelly on Thursday morning without debate. Voters previously approved the money as part of the city’s 2022 bond program.
