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…?”

Three lives. Two rescues. One unforgettable bond.

More tails coming soon!

Every rescue has a different story, but they always have one thing in common...

A search for a home. 🏡

One that is full of love, treats, good health, and all the belly rubs a cat or dog could ask for.

At SNIPSA, we don’t give up on our rescues. Medical issues, behavioral quirks, animals that just get overlooked...there is a space for everyone here. ❤️‍🩹

This #GivingTuesday, we’ve been given the incredible opportunity to match your contributions dollar for dollar. That means twice the funds and twice the animals we can help!

Don’t miss out on your chance to donate to SNIPSA in our final hours of Giving Day. If you can’t offer a home, you can offer your heart. 🤲 Link in bio to Give.

Okay, we’ll be honest. We think the best breed of cat is a SNIPSA cat! 😘

SNIPSA has rescued 180 cats in 2025, and we don’t plan on stopping. We also partnered with Animal Care Services to introduce a new Feral Community Cat program this year! By the end of 2025, we will have spayed/neutered 500 cats in need of sterilization, making a big dent in the homeless cat population here in San Antonio. 🐈✂️✨

So, we’re calling on you, cat lovers. Do you want to offer more felines a life off the streets?

Donate to SNIPSA during #GivingTuesday and your donations will be matched dollar for dollar! 💙🔗 Link in bio to get started.

This #GivingTuesday, we want to ask the following question:

Do you know what all goes on in getting a puppy ready for its forever home? 🙋‍♀️

Well, we’ve got nine newbies in our Stranger Things litter—plus their momma, Joyce! 👀 Or staff is vaccinating, deworming, cleaning, bathing, feeding, socializing, cleaning again, charting weights, taking photos, posting profiles online, meeting potential adopters, spaying/neutering, attending adoption events, giving meds, training, housebreaking, the list goes on and on…

So next time you are thinking about adopting a rescue (or cuddling your own rescued animal), take a glance in the rearview mirror and think about all the time and heart that went into their story. 🐶❤️🐈

Donate now and help fund SNIPSA’s mission of saving lives. 🤝 Link in bio for your donation to be matched dollar for dollar for Giving Day.

Baby, it’s COLD outside, and these rescues need you! 🥶

We’ve got a few rescues who need warm, safe foster homes ASAP. Including one sweet mama and her puppies (don’t worry... she does all the work 😌).

If you’ve been thinking about fostering, now is the perfect time to scoop up a snuggle buddy or a whole tiny family. These cuties just need a place to crash, cuddle, and stay warm while the temps drop. 💙

Can you help us keep them cozy? 🧣
Text 210-372-5995 to foster now!

Pet of the Week: #GivingTuesday edition 💙✨

Feast took a freedom ride into foster care yesterday, but his story is far from over!

Found lying alone in a field after being struck by a car, this sweet dog didn’t have much hope left. He had nobody to turn to and nowhere to go. Thankfully, Animal Care Services stepped in just in time.

Fast forward several weeks, and Feast is recovering from an operation to amputate his shattered leg. He is still being treated for his skin injuries, but today, he officially begins his search for a loving family. ☺️

Feast has impressed everyone at SNIPSA with his wonderful, calm temperament. He is always grinning with his charming underbite and wagging his little tail. He loves chin scratches, lounging by your feet, and waiting patiently for scraps. To our surprise, Feast is completely potty-trained and gets along well with other animals, leading us to believe he was owned at some point in his life. One thing is for sure: his future is brighter than his past.

Dogs with extensive medical issues are costly to rescue and often require a longer rehabilitation period, but we are dedicated to helping this boy. To support Feast, please donate today or share this post to help him find his new home. 🏡🐕🐾

‼️ Your dollars count double for Giving Tuesday! Give now through the link in our bio to have your donation matched dollar for dollar. 💸

We hope everyone is enjoying Turkey weekend… especially your dogs! 😜

We are so thankful to @lonestarstatek9 for spoiling one of our rescues, Gus, over the long weekend. He has been in “boot camp” for several weeks at their facility, learning new skills and gobbling snacks. 💫 Soon, he will be ready for a forever family!

With so many thanks to give this year, this is a big one. We appreciate all the hands that join together every day to make our life-saving mission possible. There is always an animal to help and love to share, especially during the holidays. 💙
