Who We Are

The Pet Assistance Association, Inc. was organized in 1976 when a group of caring Bee county residents came together to incorporate the organization as a 501(c) 3 Corporation whose primary purpose was to reduce the number of unwanted animals by sponsoring low-cost spay and neuter surgeries for dogs and cats. Since that time, Association volunteers have cared for thousands of stray animals, provided adoptive home, medical treatment, food, shelter and spay and neuter surgeries at a reduced rate for those who could not afford the cost. The organization has worked closely with area veterinarians and the public animal shelter in these endeavors. Another focus of the organization is public education aimed at encouraging responsible pet ownership stressing the need to spay and neuter family pets in order to cut down on the number of unwanted animals that are tragically put to death each year. All funding is provided by private individuals and foundations. Your donations go to the animals and future shelter of Bee County.

Our Goal

We are currently soliciting funds for the establishment of Beeville's first No Kill animal shelter "Wags & Whiskers." If you would like to contribute to our effort, please contact us at 361-287-3727.
