Dr. Israel is a native Texan that received her DVM from Texas A&M University in 2005 and completed her residency in small animal surgery at Texas A&M University in 2009.
Dr. Israelโs passion for veterinary medicine was fostered as a young child where she grew up with a variety of animals including goats, chickens, horses, dogs, and everything in between. She works at Blue Pearl Veterinary Hospital and has performed numerous orthopedic and life-saving surgical procedures for SNIPSA rescues. Her specialty is total hip replacements which is a refined and sought-after skill. She married her โsweetheartโ from veterinary school who also owns and operates two veterinary hospitals in the Helotes area. She is the proud mother of two children who enjoy spending time outdoors in nature. She can be found riding her beloved horse, Pearl, with her daughter or fishing in Rockport with her son and husband. Dr. Israel is a faithful surgeon at our Big Fix clinics and a practical sounding board for our organization.

My rescue has a first name, itโs O-s-c-a-r! ๐ฃ
We all know size doesnโt truly matter, and this boy is a prime example. Oscar is a tiny pup who loves BIG! His personality is best described as curious, alert, submissive, and sweet. He is a huge cuddler and definitely finds safety in his humans. During his first day at SNIPSA, he was stuck to us like glue. ๐
This boy is also a bit of an explorer at heartโhe will waste no time checking out all of the sights and smells in new spaces. When heโs tired out, he will find a nice spot to settle into; a cushion, the floor, a lap, or even under a chair! His amiable personality mixes well with his small size, making a dog perfect for cuddling, traveling, and/or smaller dwellings. Heโs fully grown but still young, so he is not expected to get any larger. ๐พ
Additionally, this lil guy prefers the company of older children and adults, but gets along with animals of all sizes! If youโd like to take a chance on this lilโ sausage, place an application today at SNIPSA.ORG/OSCAR! ๐ญ๐งก

Flash needs OUR SUPPORT!! ๐๐๏ธ๐ฉท Poor boy was the underdog in a dog fight. He suffered numerous bite wounds, a significant infection and simply is painful from the trauma. He came into our local animal shelter in shock and fortunately they provided immediate veterinary care with intravenous fluids and pain management. He is making strides every day and we are committed to getting him to the other side. Please consider helping us help him thru your dollars, prayers, and well wishes. ๐โค๏ธ๐ซถ๐ฉบ๐พ๐ฆฎ

Shirley has some shiny teeth just in time for her journey up to Houston! ๐ฆท๐ชฅ
This nine-year-old girl was way overdue for a dental cleaning when she arrived at our office two weeks ago. So, what did we do? Our caring technicians decided it was time for a good scrub and polish, extracting a few bad teeth in the process. โจ
Now that sheโs feeling and looking good, Shirley will be leaving on a road trip tomorrow to meet a prospective adopter. We hope itโs all smiles from here on out! Good luck, Shirley girlie. ๐
