Rescue. Rehome. Responsibility.

SNIPSA is an organization formed by a group of veterinarians and caring individuals dedicated to helping homeless and unwanted animals in San Antonio and the surrounding area.

Race for the Rescues


Let’s be honest: your dog has probably been training for this race their entire life. You? Maybe not. 

Race for the Rescues is SNIPSA’s biggest fundraiser of the year—and it’s one of the most fun ways to help homeless dogs and cats in our community.

Join us for a pet-friendly 5K starting at the Alamo Heights swimming pool. Run it, walk it, jog it, sniff every tree along the way…whatever works! Bring your dog(s), your family, your friends, or your entire four-legged fan club.

Every step and every dollar helps SNIPSA provide spay/neuter outreach and lifesaving veterinary care for rescue animals in our community.

So leash up, lace up, and come race for the rescues!

Boo’s Finally Adopted!

If you’ve been following SNIPSA for a while, you know we’ve been cheering Boo on for almost an entire year as we searched for his perfect forever home.
 
From the moment Boo entered the program, his personality was impossible to miss. This boy has SO much love and SO much character! While his incontinence made some potential adopters hesitant, anyone who met Boo quickly realized that his goofy, loving personality shines far brighter than anything else.
 
Our Admin Coordinator Roxanne opened her home to Boo as his long-term foster and spent a couple of months loving him and advocating for him while we waited for the right family to come along.
We always knew that somewhere out there was someone who would see just how special he is. And now, they’ve finally found each other.
 
After nearly a year of waiting, we couldn’t be happier to see this sweet boy thriving with his forever family.

Join us for SNIPSA’s biggest event of the year, the 19th Annual Race for the Rescues! This all-paws-in fundraiser raises critical awareness for San Antonio’s homeless animal population, with proceeds directly supporting our spay/neuter outreach and providing essential veterinary care for rescue animals. Whether you run, walk, or cheer from the sidelines, you can make a difference. (And yes, your dog can race too!)

Pet of The Week

Juni

Sip slow on the sweetness of summer, because Momma Juni is as gentle as honey on a warm day. Just a young cat herself at under two years old, Juni proved to be the most devoted, tender momma to her five little “berries.” Now that her babies are ‘ripe for picking,’ it’s Juni’s turn to be cherished and pampered.

With eyes as vivid as fresh summer grass and a heart full of pure kindness, Juni is an absolute dream. She gets along wonderfully with other cats and respectful dogs alike, making her an easy fit for almost any loving household. If you are looking for a gentle, affectionate companion to brighten your days, Juni is ready to bloom right by your side. Submit your application today, and may your summers be endless.
