Adoption Responsibilities
We provide our dogs with vaccinations and microchips, we test for heartworms, treat for fleas/ticks, and spay/neuter prior to adoption. Some animals require additional veterinary care such as surgeries and heartworm treatments. We do everything we can to ensure that the animals we place for adoption are free and clear of all disease.
Unfortunately, even though every attempt has been made to ensure that the adoptable animals we have are healthy, it is impossible to guarantee an animal’s health. Many diseases may not show any signs for days or even weeks. If signs of illness are not shown while the animal is in our custody, we may not be aware of any illnesses. Furthermore, we cannot predict if an animal may develop health conditions in the future. Because of that, we want to make sure that you are willing to accept the responsibility to take care and treat any illness or health condition that the dog you adopt may have after it has been adopted.
Is Adopting a Pet Right for You?
Before completing the adoption application, you should consider the following requirements:
- Be 21 years old
- Have the time to provide proper care and training
- Have financial means to provide essential care such as quality food, bedding, toys, treats, vet care, monthly heartworm and flea/tick preventatives, as well as possible emergency care
- Know what you would you do if the animal got sick or injured.
If you live outside our area, you must be available to come to San Antonio, or make transportation arrangements. We do not have a transport company, but will help facilitate in any way we can.
And most importantly: Are you willing and able to make this serious commitment to love and care for this pet, for the rest of its life?
Contract & Application
In an effort to maintain proper social distancing measures, we have made our adoption contract and spay/neuter contract available online. Adoption and spay/neuter contracts and online payment is accepted only for adopters who have a scheduled meet and greet with the animal and have been given approval by our adoption coordinator. View Adoption Contract.
Once your application has been approved, you will be contacted to set up a meet and greet. Fill out an application here.

To our donors, adopters, fosters, volunteers and more - THANK YOU for showing up for SNIPSA yesterday! 😻 Together, we raised $4,290 - a huge chunk in our $10,000 goal. These funds will go directly towards rescuing, rehabilitating, rehoming and spaying/neutering cats and dogs in our community.
Our #GivingTuesday fundraiser is still open as we push to reach this goal. If you didn’t get a chance to contribute yet, please visit the link in our bio to donate. ❤️
Again, we are incredibly grateful for your tireless support, fundraising efforts and generous donations. Thanks to all of you, we push ONWARD to improve the homeless animal population in San Antonio!!

Remember our sea creature litter?! 🐢🐬🦞🐠 Lobster and Starfish (Now Mango and Maggie) were adopted together into their forever home. We got to see them again when they came in for their spay and neuter surgeries, and were overjoyed to see that Lobster (Mango) is still rocking his “claw!” He gets around just fine per his new owner - and is even more playful than his sister! Starfish (Maggie) is apparently a little more mellow and mature. 😉❤️ Isn’t it amazing when littermates get to stay together for life? Show some love for this extra special pair in the comments!!

The big day is here… It’s #GivingTuesday!!! 🐶❤️🐱
Giving Tuesday was created in 2012 with a vision; To encourage people to do good by giving back to their communities. The idea has since grown into a huge movement that inspires generosity across the globe! 🌎
In 2022, Giving Day is more important than ever. Our city shelters are facing overcrowding with an exorbitant number of unwanted pets despite rescues working even harder. And spay and neuter services are in higher demand than available partners are able to fulfill. Please extend a helping hand to SNIPSA as we work to rescue, rehabilitate, re-home, and promote responsible pet ownership into 2023. Click the link in our bio to GIVE. 🤲

We had a litter of all the back-to-school essentials in August, and Sharpie is one of the last two kiddos left over! Boy, is this guy anxious to find his forever home. This San Antonio special is snuggly, social, affectionate, playful and loyal. We don’t know his breed, but he is estimated to be large-sized when fully grown. As a puppy, he already has a huge heart, with so much love to offer any family! He has been great with kids and other pets so far, but he will benefit from continued training in his forever home. Don’t forget to tuck this pup into your backpack!🐶🎒

Viva los SPURS!! ✨🏁 Our puppy race at the Spurs vs. Lakers game was a HIT, with Lemon winning first place and getting to taste 15 minutes of doggy fame! Additionally, all our racers and “rufferees” received a Spurs swag bag to take home in memory of this fun event. If you adopt a racer, you’ll get to take a swag bag home with you too (which includes a limited-edition 50-year anniversary jersery!) 🤩
THANK YOU @spurs, @spurscoyote, and everyone who helped out last night!! 🐾👯♀️❤️

Helena and Muñeca…. The perfect duo! 👯♀️✨ These lovely ladies are just about as sweet as it gets. Surrendered together to Animal Care Services, these girls have not had the easiest of lives. Both former mamas, with signs of neglect, Helena and Muñeca have finally found a second chance at life.
During their first day at SNIPSA, they were very timid and refused to even walk on a leash. After just 24 hours, however, they were eager to take their morning stroll! Now, they are much more outgoing and affectionate, and can easily recognize a loving hand. 🤲❤️
Both girls would fit in well to just about any lifestyle. They are each extremely calm in nature and love nothing more than snuggling up next to you in a cozy blanket! Plus, they both ADORE kids! If you’re looking for your new winter cuddle buddy, apply to meet one of these young doggos. ❄️🤗
