Everyone else has been chosen… but Cajun is still waiting.

He’s the last dog left.

While the others got their break in a home, Cajun is still here—still hoping someone will say yes, even if it’s just for the weekend.

At just 16 lbs, he’s the perfect little companion with the sweetest face. All he needs is a short escape—a couch, a calm space, a few days of love.

Don’t let him be the one left behind.
Be his person. Be his break. Be his chance. 🐾

Text (210) 372-5995 to foster Cajun.

Fostering isn’t just helpful… it’s urgent.

A couch, a quiet space, a few days of love—it can change everything for a dog who’s overwhelmed and still waiting for their forever home.

Be the reason one of them gets a second chance. 💙

We’ll provide everything you need—just open your home.

Pick your ingredient… or grab a few—because we’re overflowing. 🚨🐾

Our “kitchen” is FULL and we need fosters right now.

If they don’t leave, there’s no room for the next one who needs saving. From tiny kittens to cuddle-ready pups to big dogs—every single one of these animals needs a place to stay this weekend.

Even one night out of the shelter can change everything.
We provide everything. They just need you.

Don’t let them spend another night on the shelf.

The trio you didn’t know you needed… until now!

Milo, Randy, and Otis came in together, and while their story started with a tough goodbye, it’s leading them to a forever home.

Milo: professional snoozer + gentle soul
 Randy: part time certified zoomer & part time cuddle buddy
 Otis: big softie who just wants to be close to you

Three different personalities… one shared goal: finding a home where they’re loved.

They’ve been through change together—now it’s time for their next chapter. Whether that’s together or separately, each of these boys is ready to be someone’s everything.💙

Apply to meet this trio in our link in bio.

We want to give a SNIPSA shoutout to sweet Avery and her mom, Ashley, for selling Fiesta medals at school last week!!! 🪅💗 You ladies are so awesome for helping spread the word about our cause.

All proceeds from our Fiesta medal sales help fund SNIPSA’s mission of rescuing animals and providing spay and neuter surgeries, microchips, and vaccines to pets in our neediest neighborhoods.

If you want to support SNIPSA this season, you can get involved, too! 🦮💕 Help us sell medals or snag one of your own at one of our Fiesta events.

❤️ OLOR UPDATE ❤️

Olor first arrived at the SNIPSA office through our feral cat program, scheduled for a routine neuter. But it quickly became clear that this sweet boy was in serious trouble. His neck had large, infected wounds stretching across his jawline and nearly half his face, he was dangerously dehydrated, and one eye was sealed shut.

Despite his heartbreaking condition, we knew cats sometimes have a few extra lives tucked away. So we began aggressive treatment with antibiotics and fluids. Before long, Olor started to show us his spirit—he meowed, he engaged, and we realized there was a fighter in there. And one thing was certain: he was far from feral. 🐈🏥

After weeks of dedicated care, Olor slowly began to heal. He gained weight, his wounds improved, and his personality started to shine through. ✨ Last week, we removed his troublesome eye, and he is feeling better than ever.

Now, Olor is going home—his forever home. 😭

This kitty may have a crooked ear, but it only brings to mind his remarkable story of resilience. We are so excited to see him start this new journey.

So, this is our official send off! Thank you Kayla, Shannon, Jack, and everyone else involved with his care. We love you, Olor—stay well! 👋
