Dr. Espy serves as the Executive Director of SNIPSA which was founded in 2006 with the help of her husband and a group of caring individuals committed to creating change for the pets of San Antonio. She received her DVM from Texas A&M University in 1999 and moved to Kentucky where she embarked on her first mobile spay/neuter clinics sterilizing dogs/cats in tobacco warehouses.
With a passion for saving the homeless, she returned to Texas with her husband and worked in the private veterinary sector until SNIPSA grew to the organization it is today. She is active in all aspects of the non-profit providing veterinary care for animals in its adoption program and facilitating its Big Fix spay/neuter outreach clinics.
Dr. Espy is the mother of four children and houses a variety of injured and sick animals in her home. Having fostered hundreds of animals through the years- her husband doesn’t even ask the names of the animals in the morning knowing they may very well be different by the afternoon. She couldn’t do what she does without the endless support of her family and devoted SNIPSA staff.

I’m Lucy Lu! Who are you?! 🤗 Well, I’m the sweetest, most playful girl around. I’ll run zoooomies around your heart if you’ll just let me. Originally adopted as a puppy back in 2021, I was sadly returned due to some unforeseen circumstances in my parents’ lives. But despite needing to find a new home, I’m the best dog ever! ❤️🩹 I love going on walks, playing fetch and showing off my best tricks for Milk Bones. At the end of the day, my favorite thing to do is cuddle up with my loved ones and watch movies. I am great with kids and other dogs, so I should make an easy adjustment to just about any family home. And not to mention, I have the best house manners! 🐾 My breed is a bit of a mystery, but SNIPSA thinks I’m some kind of Boston Terrier mix. If you want a canine companion that is social, friendly and a little on the silly side, please consider giving me a second chance. I’ll happily take on the role of your new best friend. ✨

Precious, petite lil’ Poppet! 💕 Everyone loves a Chug (or a Chihuahua/Pug mix), and this girl is no exception. Chugs are known to be affectionate, loyal and confident companions. Our Poppet fits this bill with her easygoing, upbeat personality. In addition, her adorable underbite and stumpy legs are just too cute to pass up! ✨ Poppet thrives around her people, and she will let you know how much she loves you by giving you all of her best cuddles and tail wags. While Poppet is potty trained and crate trained, she loves to share the bed with you, curling right up in your arms or at your feet. As an adult, she has also mastered all of her manners, so you get to skip out on that stubborn puppy training phase! She won’t be getting any bigger either, making her the perfect size to tag along with you wherever you go! Submit an application to meet Poppet today if you’re looking for your next best pal! 🫶
