Mornings are always best paired with something sweet… 💕☕️🐶

Thank you @honeybeancoffee_olmospark for fueling our staff (and our rescues) today! Abraham loved his pup cup!

Meet Cayenne! 🌶️ This spicy little 4-month-old Shepherd mix is ready to find her forever home! Cayenne had a rough start; found all alone, sick, and barely 4 pounds. But thanks to a kind rescuer and the vet med team at SNIPSA, she’s been nursed back to health in the SNIPSA foster program, and now her amazing personality is popping!

Swipe to see why this girl is the perfect dash of flavor for your family!

✨ About Cayenne:
    🐾    A World-Class Cuddler: Her #1 priority is being in your lap or right by your side.
    🐾    Curious & Playful: She loves attention and attacking toys that are bigger than she is!
    🐾    Smart Cookie: As a Shepherd mix, she’s ready to learn quickly with her new family.

Whether you’re looking for a sprinkle of sweetness or a dash of spunk, Cayenne is your girl! Will you make her Christmas wish for a forever family come true?

Apply to meet Cayenne today! SNIPSA.ORG/CAYENNE

Yesterday morning, we had the amazing opportunity to meet this group of bright, generous animal lovers! These third graders from St. Luke’s Episcopal School came together to gather donations for SNIPSA in the season of giving. 🐶🎁⁠
⁠
Together, they collected toys, puppy pads, paper towels, kitty litter, blankets, and more for our fosters. These items are so important for the caretaking and enrichment of the cats and dogs in our rescue program. ❤️Thank you for giving us a little extra holiday cheer and a whole lotta tail wags! 🤗⁠

It's snowing at SNIPSA 😱❄️⁠
⁠
Wait... no, it isn't! We just have two big, fluffy, white dogs in search of a better space to stretch their legs.⁠
⁠
Holly and Nicholas took a freedom ride to SNIPSA from Atascosa Animal Allies today. 🚐🩵 While they are able to have designated playtime and potty breaks at our office, they will be much happier in a foster home (or a forever home!) ⁠

Elm spent the night at SNIPSA yesterday…🎄

He waited for a meet and greet all day and even had his Christmas sweater on, but sadly, the people never showed up. 😞

Today, he was picked up by a new foster who praised him for his perfect manners and good-natured attitude. But his search still remains for a forever family.

Who will give Elm the gift of a home this holiday season?❤️🏡
