Dr. Espy serves as the Executive Director of SNIPSA which was founded in 2006 with the help of her husband and a group of caring individuals committed to creating change for the pets of San Antonio. She received her DVM from Texas A&M University in 1999 and moved to Kentucky where she embarked on her first mobile spay/neuter clinics sterilizing dogs/cats in tobacco warehouses.
With a passion for saving the homeless, she returned to Texas with her husband and worked in the private veterinary sector until SNIPSA grew to the organization it is today. She is active in all aspects of the non-profit providing veterinary care for animals in its adoption program and facilitating its Big Fix spay/neuter outreach clinics.
Dr. Espy is the mother of four children and houses a variety of injured and sick animals in her home. Having fostered hundreds of animals through the years- her husband doesnโt even ask the names of the animals in the morning knowing they may very well be different by the afternoon. She couldnโt do what she does without the endless support of her family and devoted SNIPSA staff.

Are you looking for a pup who dances everywhere he goes? ๐บ A pup with the dreamiest curls? ๐ญ A pup with a personality to charm the masses? ๐
Well, weโve got our very own Napoleon Dynamite in the building. Meet Scout! ๐ Just like Napoleon, Scout can be a little shy on the approach, but he was born to be in the spotlight. He loves attention, walks, treats andโmore than anythingโhis people! In his foster home, Scout hasnโt wasted any time bonding with his foster family. He is a perfect shadow, following his foster mom everywhere she goes with enthusiasm. This little busybody also enjoys his โwalkiesโ where he can feel the grass on his paws. Not to mention, heโs perfectly house-trained, which makes that outside time extra special! ๐ฑ
One thing to note about Scout is that he is thought to have been hit by a car at some point in his life, resulting in a luxated hip. He underwent a femoral head ostectomy to repair it, resulting in a slightly higher adoption fee. While Scout has been through a lot in his two years, he has a happy and healthy future just ahead. ๐ค He recently made his debut at the King William Parade where he stole more than just a few hearts. So, if you saw this scruffy guy at Fiesta, take the pawty home with you! Apply to adopt Scout today! ๐๐

Double the parades made for double the fun this Fiesta weekend!!! ๐๐โ๐ฆบ๐ช
Saturday morning, our rescues were walked, carried and given allll the kisses during the King William Parade. Our Shoe litter also made their debut at Therapy Animals of San Antonioโs 26th Annual Pooch Parade! We had such a great time partying with our San Antonio community, showing off our pups and selling the last of our 2024 Fiesta medals. A HUGE thank you to the staff and volunteers who rose at the crack of dawn to spread some puppy love! ๐๐๐พ

Iโm Lucy Lu! Who are you?! ๐ค Well, Iโm the sweetest, most playful girl around. Iโll run zoooomies around your heart if youโll just let me. Originally adopted as a puppy back in 2021, I was sadly returned due to some unforeseen circumstances in my parentsโ lives. But despite needing to find a new home, Iโm the best dog ever! โค๏ธโ๐ฉน I love going on walks, playing fetch and showing off my best tricks for Milk Bones. At the end of the day, my favorite thing to do is cuddle up with my loved ones and watch movies. I am great with kids and other dogs, so I should make an easy adjustment to just about any family home. And not to mention, I have the best house manners! ๐พ My breed is a bit of a mystery, but SNIPSA thinks Iโm some kind of Boston Terrier mix. If you want a canine companion that is social, friendly and a little on the silly side, please consider giving me a second chance. Iโll happily take on the role of your new best friend. โจ
