Adopt with SNIPSA and bring a new family member home!

How it Works

Ready to welcome a new pet into your life? You've come to the right place! SNIPSA is dedicated to find the perfect fit for each of our rescues. Since we are not a standing shelter, each animal resides in a foster home so that they can receive the care and socialization needed to help them transition into yours.

Please browse our adoptable pets and consider placing an application to adopt. Applications are answered in the order they are received within 72 hours. Once your application is approved, the foster parent will reach out to you to coordinate a meet and greet with your new potential family member!

Adoption Fees

Adoption fees vary depending on the type of pet you would like to adopt. Puppies start at $300, adult dogs start at $250, and cats start at $150.

Our adoption fee includes a veterinary exam, microchip, spay/neuter surgery, vaccines, dewormers, fecal, heartworm test (dog), FeLV/FIV test (cat), monthly preventatives, and a complimentary bag of Science Diet. The goal is to provide optimal care to ensure your pet is ready and healthy for its new home.

*Please note: Animals that have received additional non-routine medical treatment have a higher adoption fee.

Pet of the Week:

“Home is where you’re surrounded by critters that care about ya!” – Sandy Cheeks

Sandy from the Spongebob litter was initially rescued when she was just two weeks old. With no mom around to care for her and her siblings, she was hand-raised by our adoption coordinator until she was old enough to begin munching on wet food. Now, Sandy is the last one waiting to get adopted! These little fish were snatched up faster than you could cook a Krabby Patty, so it’s safe to say Sandy won’t be around long either. She is bubbly, intelligent, and affectionate, and with continued training, she will make a rewarding family pet! As a Black Mouth Cur/Shepherd mix, she will grow to be medium to large in size and maintain an energetic disposition come adulthood. She will appreciate daily walks, mind-stimulating toys, and a backyard for zoomies in her new home. Sandy is also well socialized with other pets and makes for a fun playmate. So, if your children or resident dog(s) are searching for a friend to do stuff together with, look no further than this goofy goober. We all know the secret ingredient to happiness is a sweet puppy—take Sandy home today!

For those of you who didn’t know, our office cat is our resident dog tester! 🤭

Sal is always down for a square-off with our new intakes. He has a knack for revealing a dog’s temperament around small animals and children. Sometimes we have to hold Sal back, but this is a job he enjoys! And he ALWAYS comes out on top! 👊💥

Senior dog lovers, we need you! 👋

Who can provide our Betty White with a cozy space in which she can await her forever person? 🧡 This girl is cuddly, curious, and she eats well, despite her old age. She doesn’t mind short leashed walks (or trolley rides) around the neighborhood and occasionally will churn out zoomies in the yard. Betty does have a slight head tilt from an injury that occurred before her rescue. We think it just adds to her charm, and she doesn’t seem to mind it, either. 🥰

Betty is as deserving as any for a foster! We are desperate for someone to take her in and give her the love she deserves. 🙏 For more information, please text us at (210) 371-0056.
