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: Tali

Hey there, I’m Tali. I’m sure you’re wondering how a pretty girl like myself wound up in the paws of a rescue group. Well, it definitely wasn’t planned! Recently, my owner fell victim to medical issues that rendered her unable to provide me with a stable home. So, I went off to foster care with a heavy heart and high hopes of finding a new forever Valentine!

I hope my story of new beginnings prompts you to read more about me. I am still getting used to rescue life, but I’ve already proven myself to be a quiet, caring companion. I don't bark or jump, and I'm content just about anywhere once I've adjusted. More often than not, you can find me close by waiting for pets and cuddles. I'll happily settle in to watch Netflix with you or listen to all your boy gossip, whatever you prefer. Plus, my silky ears and big brown eyes make for great selfies! Will you be the one to provide me with the stability I need to live my best life? Give me your love and I'll return it tenfold! 

Tali

Our sweet borderline-senior girl, Aggie, attended her first adoption event on Saturday! 💖

Aggie is thought to be around six years old, and she brings her cuddle bug experience everywhere she goes. Thank you @wgbalamoheights for welcoming us back this year so dogs like Aggie can be seen out in the wild.

Everyone, please show them (and Aggie) some love! 🙏💕

Ready to scoop up some love? Well, these guys are ready and waiting for YOU!! 💗🐾🍦

We are calling ALL ice cream enthusiasts or puppy lovers to foster these sweet treats!  These puppies are happy, healthy, and adaptable, so they will mix right into your home. Drumstick, Creamsicle, and Sundae are young Labrador Retriever mixes looking for a temporary place to stay. This is our final plea before the weekend hits, and these three have to stay crated all weekend long. Will you please be a sweetie and save one or all of them from their kennel? 🐕‍🦺🙏

You bring the scoop; we will provide the ice cream and all the toppings (aka: any & all supplies)! 🍨✨

PLEASE text (210)372-5995 to foster! 🏡💞

Although an ectopic ureter is a rare congenital defect, SNIPSA has had THREE in one year! 🫣 Guess they all know where to go to get the help they deserve. Consider giving to Roo and her important surgery as we continue to help so many homeless dogs in need. ❤️💜🫶🐕 ...
