memorials are a very special way

of remembering and honoring family and friends by donating to help animals in need. The Sandra Sue Benson Animal Adoption Center is a comfortable temporary home where animals stay while waiting to be adopted into a loving family. Those who want to adopt can see the animals in a cozy homelike setting. All donations will be used to continue operations of the Adoption Center and improve the welfare of animals in San Patricio and surrounding counties.
