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!

Nearing the end of a long workweek? Well, we’ve got two top-shelf pups for you to stir up. 🥃🩵🍹

Meet Tequila and Mezcal, two puppies available for fostering (or adoption)! They’ve been working overtime at the SNIPSA office and could use a drinking buddy this weekend… or an even longer vacation.

These puppies can promise giggles, cuddles, and the brightest blue eyes. Will you invite one or both of them out to your cocktail bar? 🧊🐾

Text (210) 372-5995 to foster now, or apply for a meet and greet at SNIPSA.ORG/ADOPTION.

🚨 WE NEED YOUR HELP! 🚨

Every kennel in our office is full.

We’d rather they have a soft bed to spend the night on! 🐾

Even one weekend can give an animal the rest and relief they desperately need to be at their best. 🐶

🐾 Pet of the Week: Pepita! 🐾

Some dogs come into your life quietly… and somehow end up becoming everyone’s favorite coworker.

Pepita was found at ACS with a painful broken foot, but thanks to a month of dedicated care, lots of love, and a whole lot of resilience, she’s ready for the next chapter of her story.💜

Now? She’s the self-appointed office greeter, professional explorer, and champion napper. Whether she’s making new dog friends, investigating every corner of the room, or curling up for an afternoon snooze, Pepita brings joy wherever she goes.

She has never met a stranger, loves other dogs, and has mastered the art of looking at you with those giant ears and sweet eyes until you fall completely in love. 🥹

After everything she’s been through, Pepita is ready for a couch of her own and a family to call hers.

Could that be you?

Apply to adopt Pepita today!

We have a saying at SNIPSA: It always comes in threes 🤗

That’s right — we had three adoptions among our SNIPSA staff, just days apart from one another.

Kayla, our lead technician, has grown her fur family of two dogs, four cats, a leopard gecko, a hermit crab and two fish tanks. Her new baby, Dimitri, is a medical anomaly — as a ten week old kitten, he only weighs 0.75 pounds, and he will require ongoing, specialized care to thrive. 🏥

Reagan is a part-time technician at SNIPSA, and she has also fostered for us for years! She owns two cats named Scam Likely and Bookmark, a Great Dane named Duke, and now, another one of our tinies; Princess Donut 👑

Hayley is our senior marketing coordinator and she has never adopted during her four years at SNIPSA… until now! After losing her soul dog in October, she met Nori when she arrived at SNIPSA with her “mom” and four other kittens. Nori is now a beloved companion to her partner’s cat, Soup. 🥣

Congratulations everyone! We know you will make the best pet parents 💓😉

Meet our summer interns, Morgan and Sofia 💕☀️

Morgan is a Marketing major at Notre Dame in Indiana. She is a long-term SNIPSA volunteer and has decided to lend us her skills this summer to build her marketing portfolio as she enters the professional world!

Sofia is a Psychology major at Trinity University in San Antonio. She has joined our outreach and events department with the hope of forming new connections as she learns more about social networking and community engagement.

If you see these girls around the office, be sure to say hi! We are so lucky to have them as a part of our rescue team for the next couple of months. ☺️
