San Antonio District 1 office will host free pet vaccinations and microchipping clinic Saturday morning
Free pet vaccines and microchips scheduled at District 1 office
San Antonio Animal Care Services has scheduled a free pet vaccination and microchipping clinic at the City Council District 1 office on Saturday, March 14, 2026, running from 8 a.m. to 11 a.m. The clinic location is the District 1 Office at 8507 McCullough, San Antonio, TX 78216.
The event is part of the city’s recurring, monthly vaccination and microchip clinics designed to expand access to basic preventive care and permanent pet identification. The city has said the service is available only to San Antonio residents and requires proof of residency.
Capacity limits and service rules
Organizers have set a capacity limit of 100 pets served, with a maximum of three pets per household. Services are scheduled to be delivered on a first-come, first-served basis, a structure that can create early-arrival pressure for residents seeking appointments when demand is high.
City officials note that times and locations may change due to weather or other extenuating circumstances, which can affect day-of planning for pet owners.
Date and time: Saturday, March 14, 2026, 8:00 a.m. to 11:00 a.m.
Location: District 1 Office, 8507 McCullough, San Antonio, TX 78216
Eligibility: San Antonio residents only, with proof of residency
Limits: 100 pets total; three pets per household; first-come, first-served
Why microchipping and vaccinations are paired
Microchipping provides permanent identification tied to a unique chip number that can be read by a scanner at shelters and many veterinary clinics. While a collar and ID tag can help, they can be lost; a microchip remains with the animal and can support return-to-home efforts when registration information is current.
The city requires dogs, cats, and ferrets living within San Antonio city limits to have a registered microchip. The city also offers free lifetime microchips by appointment for residents, with a service fee charged for people who live outside city limits.
For owners who already have a microchipped pet, maintaining accurate contact information remains a key step; changes in phone numbers or addresses can prevent reunification even when a chip is present.
Additional clinics on the schedule
In addition to the District 1 office clinic on March 14, the city’s published schedule also lists vaccination and microchip events at the Paul Jolly Adoption Center (210 Tuleta, San Antonio, TX 78212) on March 14 from 9 a.m. to 11 a.m., and again on March 21 from 9 a.m. to 11 a.m.
