SOUTHTOWN NEIGHBORS: Have you seen 10 lb Lavaca neighbor, Chego? He snuck out out to take a stroll around lunchtime today. He's wearing the red and black harness in the photo, along with a collar and yellow tag. He's also microchipped. Please call the owner with any sightings or possible sightings from earlier today. Please share with anyone you know who lives in Southtown and especially who walks their dog. He likes other dogs! Thank you.

Please spread the word for this lost dog. Manchego was LOST on January 18, 2026 in San Antonio, TX 78210 near Florida Street b/w Boerne and Labor Streets

Message from Owner: "This is my little doggo, Manchego, aka Chego-Bego. He likes to escape our fence and today he did and hasn't come back. He was wearing a colorful collar and a little winter fleece that Velcro's around his neck and belly. He is extremely food-motivated. He's lived on the streets before but has been happily living at our hse for 2.5 years. He is a Footbridge Foundation doggy!"

Description: Little brown chihuahua mix, looks like Bambi with white chest/belly and white splotch on the back of his head/neck

Congrats Coti! We're so happy we could help Footbridge Foundation get you to your new home! Footbridge Foundation is a truly invaluable partner to us in so many ways it would take too long to list! We take our community cats to their spay/neuter clinic for TNR (Trap, Neuter, and Return) and can help you control the cat population around Southtown too with our FREE Community Cat Carpool --> tinyurl.com/TCFccc

Pour yourself a cup and celebrate this sweet success! Coti, named after the wonderful coffee truck Cafe Cotidiano where she was found, has officially been adopted! 🐾❤️

She's off to start her new life filled with cozy mornings and endless snuggles.

This happy ending wouldn't be possible without our amazing partners! A huge thank you to The Cannoli Fund for generously covering Coti's intake fee and crucial medical expenses. We are so lucky to partner with incredible local organizations like them to ensure cats, like Coti, get the care they need before finding their perfect homes!

Thank you, Cannoli Fund, for helping us make this adoption possible!

KW neighbors have found a sweet Chihuahua mix wandering the neighborhood. He is an intact male and does not have a microchip. He is likely a couple of years old. If you or anyone you know is missing such a dog please DM us and provide a description! Finder is not on social media.

This friendly female Shih Tzu, wearing a pink collar, was lost Friday night in Lavaca. She is still missing! If you’ve seen her, please DM Wayland Roed or Stephanie Faulkner.

Happy New Year Friends and Neighbors! Don't forget that we have a microchip scanner and can scan found pets who may have fled the fireworks last night and been unable to get home. This is also a good time to make sure your pets' chips are updated with the manufacturer with your current contact information. We've already scanned a few dogs without tags and unfortunately some chips were never registered. Make it easy for a good Samaritan to return your pet!

The Cannoli Fund has a universal pet microchip scanner for use by those in our Southtown service area in order to find a found pet's home.

Meet Frankie Saturday! Frankie is a cheery tuxedo who got off to a rough start. He was found as a kitten near a Southtown apartment complex with a broken leg. His compassionate finder deployed the CANNOLI SIGNAL and our caped crusaders leapt into action. We brought him to the kind souls at CityVet - Southtown who x-rayed and splinted his leg, de-wormed and de-flead him, fed him kibble, and thus allowed his true personality to shine as he healed completely from his fracture! Frankie greets the staff at CityVet daily with a songful collection of chirps, mews, and chortles that gave him his name, Frank Sinatra. He’s grown into a loving, playful, interactive adolescent cat who purrs when held, adores treats, and is strong enough to tackle common household menaces like rolls of paper towels and rambling ping pong balls. Come meet Frankie tomorrow, Saturday, December 21, 11-2 at Footbridge Foundation's Cat Cafe at Rose Hip Market and invite him into your home! You’ll be so glad to add his spirit and music to your family.

For thirteen years neighbors have helped dogs and cats in Southtown stay hydrated with a FREE pet water bowl. If you're in our KING WILLIAM and LAVACA service area, request a FREE Cannoli's Canteen pet water bowl to place along the sidewalk --> tinyurl.com/cannoliscanteen and we'll drop one off on your porch within a few days. If you need a replacement bowl we're happy to help. Neighbors who have reached out for help often say they learned about The Cannoli Fund from these water bowls so you're also helping us spread the word about our FREE spay/neuter and health and wellness services! Thanks from the dogs and cats of Southtown!

Saturday, 12-3 pm! Footbridge Foundation will be at the PetSmart at 281 and Bitters with lots of great dogs available for adoption. Swing by and meet your new best friend!

FEROCIOUS FIREWORKS
I’ll be spending New Years Eve at home, in my pajamas, cuddled up with my dogs, as I always do.

Fireworks are something I dislike intensely. They are not only terrifying for so many different animals but are also dreaded by caring people, who have to watch, often helplessly as their dog suffers through the deafening bangs.

Shelters become overrun with lost dogs, dogs are knocked over by cars or go missing in their attempt to escape, they jump through glass windows, over high walls, have heart attacks, seizures or worse.

As there’s very little we can do to prevent other people from doing what they do, the best solution is to do all we can to minimize the impact this has on our dogs.

All dogs are different and there’s never a guarantee that these methods will work. Some dogs are just the way they are because of genetics, their experiences, learning history, health conditions, age etc.

Here are some helpful links if you’d like more information on some ideas that may help –
