SNIPSA's 19th Annual 5k Race for the Rescues

 Join us for SNIPSA’s biggest event of the year, the 19th Annual Race for the Rescues! This all-paws-in fundraiser raises critical awareness for San Antonio’s homeless animal population, with proceeds directly supporting our spay/neuter outreach and providing essential veterinary care for rescue animals. Whether you run, walk, or cheer from the sidelines, you can make a difference. (And yes, your dog can race too!)

SNIPSA’s throwing it back to the 90s with that Puro Street Life!

Check out our mood board for this year’s 5k Race for the Rescues—where “old-school cool” meets a cause we all love. Think 90’s throwback fits, new tech gadgets, bucket hats, backyard BBQ, and butterfly clips!

We’re blasting off with free grub and coffee, live entertainment, kid-friendly activities, local shopping, and puro pups at every single turn. Grab your retro kicks and let’s make some noise for RESCUE.
