Dr. Israel is a native Texan that received her DVM from Texas A&M University in 2005 and completed her residency in small animal surgery at Texas A&M University in 2009.
Dr. Israel’s passion for veterinary medicine was fostered as a young child where she grew up with a variety of animals including goats, chickens, horses, dogs, and everything in between. She works at Blue Pearl Veterinary Hospital and has performed numerous orthopedic and life-saving surgical procedures for SNIPSA rescues. Her specialty is total hip replacements which is a refined and sought-after skill. She married her “sweetheart” from veterinary school who also owns and operates two veterinary hospitals in the Helotes area. She is the proud mother of two children who enjoy spending time outdoors in nature. She can be found riding her beloved horse, Pearl, with her daughter or fishing in Rockport with her son and husband. Dr. Israel is a faithful surgeon at our Big Fix clinics and a practical sounding board for our organization.

Cecilia and Katrina need your help. 🙏
These sisters found themselves homeless when their owners passed away. They were originally adopted through SNIPSA several years ago. 💔
They are friendly, potty-trained, crate-trained and good with other dogs. 🐾 If you can provide a foster home for the time being, please reach out to us. Text or call (210) 372-5995 for more information!

Broken legs, but make it fashion. 💃✨
Our vet tech, Tami, has been helping boost spirits and heal doggos with her colorful casts this summer!
Gil was taken in from @sanantonioacs on July 15th. X-rays revealed a fractured left rear leg, which, thankfully, will heal over the next few months in a splint. His first cast was covered in flowers and ladybugs, and his most recent one features a shining sun after a storm! 🐞🌦️
Henry was rescued by ACS after being presumably hit by a car, and made his way to SNIPSA on June 14th. You may recognize him from our viral video about his broken front leg. Henry received surgery at South Texas Veterinary Surgery (SVTS) to repair his break, and Tami has since made him three beautiful casts! These casts provide stability and protection so he can continue to heal. ❤️
We are so thankful for Tami’s kind heart and creative mind! 🎨 Additionally, we extend our gratitude to @sanantonioacs, STVS and our SNIPSA staff for coming together to change lives.
If you have a heart for these two boys, please consider donating to help alleviate the costs of their ongoing care. 🥺

Will you give these puppies something to smile about? 🥹
Friends, we need your help…fosters have been increasingly hard to find this summer. We have several puppies that need a place to stay this week, including these two. Peach 🍑 and Plaintain 🍌 are tons of fun, whether you take both or just one. Help save lives and foster a SNIPSA rescue today.
Please DM us or text (210) 372-5995 for more info on fostering! 🤝

We recommend adding a little Canela to your morning brew… 😉☕️💕
This sweetie is our pet of the week! ⭐️ If you need a four-legged friend with a little bit of a kick, look no further. Canela is four months old and has already mastered her house manners. Her age considered, however, she still has some puppy energy left! Canela loves to explore nature trails with her foster mom, accompany her to the office and play with the other pets in the home. If you are looking for a young, easygoing dog to spoil, consider adopting this girlie girl. 💅
🎀 Apply today: www.SNIPSA.org/canela
