OUR MISSION
Our mission is to provide access to affordable pet care across South Texas, support responsible pet ownership and work with animal control agencies to reduce shelter intake and euthanasia.
How do we achieve our mission?
At P.A.A.C. (People Assisting Animal Control), we work every day to reduce pet overpopulation and improve the lives of animals in underserved communities across South Texas.
We do this through:
-
High-volume, low-cost spay and neuter services to prevent unwanted litters and reduce shelter intake
-
Affordable vaccination and wellness care to keep pets healthy and in their homes
-
Targeted community outreach and education to promote responsible pet ownership and increase access to resources
-
Distribution of pet food and basic supplies to help families care for their pets
-
Support for homeless pet owners and underserved populations, including transportation assistance and direct field outreach
-
Partnerships with city shelters and rural municipalities to expand access to veterinary care in areas with limited resources
When you donate to P.A.A.C., your contribution goes directly to these programs. We are deeply committed to transparency and use every dollar carefully to help as many animals as possible.
How can we
achieve this?
Affordable and subsidized pet sterilization programs; Low cost vaccinations and preventative veterinary care; Community outreach, basic pet supplies, pet food, and education on animal care.
When you donate to P.A.A.C., your money goes directly to our organization to achieve our mission. We pride ourselves on our careful distribution of funding to make sure we are able to help the most animals possible. Our financial records are available to donors upon request.
P.A.A.C. is comprised of a full board of directors and officers including president, vice president, treasurer, and secretary. The majority of our members are business owners who are highly invested in the Corpus Christi community and welfare of our city.

frequently asked questions
-
How long does it take to receive a call, text, or email back?We have dedicated personnel overseeing our communications Monday - Friday from 8 AM - 4 PM, but due to the high-volume of people that contact us on a daily basis, it can take up to 24 hours to return a call, text, or email. If you contact us after 3 PM on Friday, you will likely not receive a response until Monday.
-
Do I need to pay the $25 deposit to schedule an appointment?Yes, everyone needs to pay the $25 deposit. Those who are eligible for free services will be refunded the deposit to the card used to book the appointment. For those who will owe money the day of their appointment, the deposit will be put towards the cost of the services/products, and any remaining balance will be refunded. If you do not show up for your appointment, or cancel less than 48 hours before your appointment, your deposit will be forfeited and repurposed as a donation.
-
Do I need to make an appointment online, even if I’m just picking up a medication refill?Yes, we ask that everyone schedule a refill appointment, even to pick up medication refills, so we are prepared to service you as quickly as possible.
-
Can I bring multiple animals for one appointment?No, we require 1 appointment per animal to ensure that they receive the necessary care and attention from our staff, and to not pushback other scheduled appointments.
-
Do you allow walk-ins at the clinic?We try to see as many walk-ins between scheduled appointments at our Wellness & TLC Clinic as possible, but we are not able to guarantee that they will be seen. We do not accept walk-ins for our Spay/Neuter Clinic and we do not accept same-day medication refill requests.
-
I’m trying to schedule an appointment online, but it says that there are no more appointments for the rest of the year. Why?Our system opens appointments every day or 2, so please keep checking back. TLC appointments are the only one's that open up on Friday evenings. Please check back every couple of days if you don’t see any appointments available when you try to schedule!
-
How long will it take for my appointment to be confirmed?Once you book an appointment, you will receive an email confirming that we received your booking. Once it has been confirmed, which can take up to 7 business days, you will receive a confirmation email verifying the date and time of your appointment.
-
I booked an appointment to spay/neuter my pet. I was given a price due even though I’m eligible for free products/services. Why?Once our scheduler has confirmed your appointment, a note will be made to reflect your reduced amount–or in some cases, zero balance–due at the time of checkout.
-
I’m bringing in a stray dog/community cat I don’t plan on keeping, why do I have to name them?It’s our policy that every animal that visits our clinic has an actual name for their rabies certificate. We do not allow racist, obscene, or names that otherwise promote hate.
