It's A Wrap!

After more than four years of dreaming and planning, our SNIPSA van has finally gotten its makeover, and we couldn’t be more excited to show it off! 🎨🐾

Bringing this vision to life is the incredible artwork of Patti Schermerhorn, a talented local artist, devoted SNIPSA foster, and longtime friend of our rescue. Patti generously opened her collection of artwork, allowing us to feature pieces from her Peace, Love & Paws series. Now, her colorful creations will travel the streets of San Antonio, helping us spread our mission of saving lives everywhere we go!

Patti, you have shared your he(ART) with SNIPSA in so many ways over the years, and this gift is especially meaningful. We are beyond grateful for your generosity, friendship, and unwavering love for our animals. What a beautiful way to turn art into awareness!

Thank you for helping us take our mission on the road in the most colorful way possible! ❤️🐶🚐

The Magic of Foster Care

At SNIPSA, we don’t have a traditional shelter; instead, we rely on compassionate foster families, like Jo and her three of many fosters, who open their homes and hearts to animals in need. Fostering creates genuine transformation, helping frightened and overlooked animals thrive.

Dylan, who faced instability after losing his owner, became confident through his foster family’s patience and routines, ultimately finding his forever home. Major waited over 500 days for someone to see past his anxiety, but with the steady support of his foster home (and some pool time) he learned to relax and was adopted as a professional trail dog.

Sonny, affectionately known as “Wrinkle,” arrived with the scars of neglect. Initially shy, he blossomed into a happy dog, now wagging his tail and engaging with others in his loving forever family.

Fostering proves that you don’t need a magic wand to change a dog’s life; just a couch, a kind touch, and a safe space to land. Thank you to Jo, and our many fosters for showing our rescues the way home. If you’re interested in fostering, learn more about becoming a SNIPSA foster today!

Pet of The Week

Scottie

A love letter to my future adopters,

Hi, I’m Scottie!

I’m a young pup with a heart full of love and a brain full of tricks. I’m already crate-trained, sleeping all night soundly, and house-trained. I even ring a bell when I need to go out!

I love other dogs and have manageable puppy energy, so I’m the perfect partner for our daily routine walks. I know how to sit and wait, especially when snacks are involved (I’m very food-motivated!).

I’m smart, sweet, and ready to find my forever home. Are you looking for a fun-loving and well-behaved sidekick? I promise to make every day better and brighter.

Come meet me and let’s start our life together! All you need to do is submit your application to schedule a visit. I can’t wait to meet you!

Love,

Scottie
