RESCUE TAILS

“I couldn’t have lucked out more,” Wayne says. “They are the perfect addition to my family, and they’re so loved by everyone.”

To top it off, Sal had a “spicy” attitude that made him less-than-welcoming to staff and volunteers. But under all that sass was a survivor.

“I’m on my way to pick up a Great Pyrenees rescue—do you know anyone who might want to adopt him?” I stared at my phone for a moment before replying, “Maybe…?”

Ruby, Becky & the Man Who Believed in Second Chances

Three lives. Two rescues. One unforgettable bond.

More tails coming soon!

This Christmas Eve, sweet Rusty is caught in the magic of the season, and a little bit of rainbow light. 🌈✨

While he’s cozy and safe tonight in a foster home, he’s tucked away with one very special Christmas wish: to find the family he can call his own in the New Year. 🏠❤️

There is nothing Rusty wants more than a forever couch to curl up on and a person to love him for a lifetime. 🐕💤

Let’s make 2026 the year this sweet rescue boy finally finds his home. 🎄🐾

Apply to adopt Rusty at SNIPSA.ORG/RUSTY 🔗

Our tails are wagging for some holiday downtime! 🐈🎄🐕

SNIPSA will be closed from Wednesday, December 24th, through Friday, December 26th, so our team can head home for the holidays.

We’ll be back in action on Monday to keep finding forever homes for our favorite four-legged friends! We hope your holiday is filled with treats, naps, and plenty of love (and frito paws). 🦴✨

Look at this face. Does this look like the face of a cat who wants to spend the holidays at the office? He’s looking for a temporary kingdom (foster home) where he can supervise your gift-wrapping, judge your holiday playlist, and remind you exactly when dinner is served. 😉✨

The fine print for hosting a legend: Salvador is a “main character” only; he needs to be the only cat in the home. 🐈

He’s iconic, he’s infamous, and he’s ready to bring some sass to your living room. 🎄

Ready to host the legend himself? Text 210-372-5995 to foster Salvador today! 🐱

Meet our Pet of the Week, the sweetest treat in the shelter: Mama Cookie. 🍪🐾

There is a heartbreaking reality in rescue: mama dogs are often the last ones left behind. They spend every ounce of their energy raising their babies and making sure they are safe, fed, and loved, only to watch every single one of their puppies get adopted while they wait patiently for their turn. 💔

Mama Cookie has spent a long time being the ultimate caretaker, making sure everyone else was looked after. But the kitchen is clear and her puppies are all grown. She is officially retired from “mama duties” and is so ready to be the center of someone’s world.

Despite her docile nature, she has waited through several adoption events for her “batch made in heaven”. She’s done the work, she’s raised the family, and now she is just looking for the family who will finally choose her. 🏠❤️

Apply to adopt Cookie today! SNIPSA.ORG/MAMA-COOKIE

It’s truly the season of giving, and our hearts are full! 🎄✨

A massive shoutout to the wonderful 6th-8th-grade students from the Harmony School of Science National Junior Honor Society for their incredible kindness. These thoughtful young leaders spent their time hand-making cozy blankets for our rescue pups! 🧶🐾

This beautiful gesture reminds us that help can come from all ages, and having a heart for service makes a world of difference.

For a rescue dog waiting for their forever home, a soft, handmade blanket is more than just warmth; it’s comfort, security, and a reminder that they are loved. 🏠❤️

Thank you, Harmony School of Science, for making the holidays a little brighter and much cozier for our furry friends! 💙🐶

These Peanut Butter Reindeer Bites are the perfect festive treat to keep your pup’s tail wagging all season long! 🦌🐾✨

With only three simple ingredients, they are quick to whip up and safe for your furry best friend. Plus, the “antlers” make them look adorable for those holiday pet photos! (Tag us if you make these for your cuties!) 📸🐶

Recipe 🥣

• 1 Cup Plain Pumpkin Puree (make sure it’s not pie filling!)
• 1/2 Cup Xylitol-Free Peanut Butter (always check the label!)
• 2 ½ Cups Oats (Rolled or Quick)

Instructions 📝

• Mix: Stir the pumpkin and peanut butter together until smooth.
• Fold: Add the oats gradually until you have a thick “dough.”

• Shape: Roll into small bite-sized balls.

• Decorate: If you want to get fancy, use two small broken pieces of a grain-free pretzel as “antlers.”

•Chill: Refrigerate for 30 minutes to firm them up.

⭐️ SNIPSA Tip: Always introduce new treats in moderation to avoid tummy upsets during the holidays! 🐶💙💡

Time flies when you’re busy being cute! 🐾✨

We can’t believe how much The Brekke Bunch has grown! Watching them go from tiny fluffs at 6 weeks to purring pouncers at 12 weeks has been the ultimate joy. They’ve officially traded in their tiny squeaks for big purrs and even bigger personalities!

The Bunch is growing up fast, and they are ready to find their forever families! They’ll be at Puppy in the Window this weekend so don’t miss your chance to meet them! If you’re looking for a lifetime of love (and a little bit of chaos), one (or two) of these sweet babies is waiting for you. 🏠❤️

We’ve got the laundry, you’ve got the power. And remember... BYOB (Bring Your Own Basket) 🧺
