🏁 Mentally preparing for Face of the Race.🐾✨

Think your pup has what it takes?

By entering SNIPSA’s Face of the Race competition, you’re not only giving your dog a chance to become the official mascot of our 19th Annual Race for the Rescues, you’re helping rescue animals find brighter futures.

The winning pup will help kick off race day, enjoy a day in the spotlight, and be the face of one of SNIPSA’s biggest events of the year! 🐶🎉

Plus, race day is free to attend if you win, with live entertainment, music, vendors, and plenty of fun for the whole family.

Enter Face of the Race through the link in our bio! 🏁🐾✨

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. ☺️

✨ Pet of the Week: Giggy ✨

How is Giggy still waiting? 🤎

Seriously. We ask ourselves that every day.

Giggy has spent months watching other dogs leave for their forever homes while she patiently waits for her turn. And through it all, she’s remained the same sweet, gentle girl.

She’s fantastic with other dogs, loves being part of the action, and has a special soft spot for puppies. In the office, she’s calm, easygoing, and perfectly happy to nap by your desk while you work. At home, she’s the kind of dog who quietly becomes your shadow—the one always nearby, ready for walks, couch time, or simply keeping you company.

She may be a little shy when meeting new people, but once she trusts you, you’ll have a best friend for life.

Giggy isn’t looking for anything fancy. Just a family to finally call her own. 🏡

If you’ve been thinking about adding a dog to your life, we think it’s time you met Giggy.

Apply today through the link in our bio.

🚨 A hot new bombshell has entered the villa… 🚨

Meet Herman! 🐾

He’s a certified cuddle king who loves long walks, car rides for coffee downtown, and playing fetch with squeaky toys. His biggest green flag? He always takes treats gently. 💚

He’s looking for someone who enjoys a calmer lifestyle, wants a loyal adventure buddy, and doesn’t mind sharing the big bed. He gets along great with other dogs, can live with confident cats, and is happiest when he’s included in all the family fun.

He may be a little shy when you first meet, but give him some time, and you’ll see he’s a total people-pleaser who’s ready for a lifelong connection. 💞

Could you be the one he’s coupling up with? 👀

🚨 FOSTERS NEEDED 🚨

A night away can change everything. 🐾

Right now, we are in urgent need of foster homes from our community. Even one night in a home gives an animal a chance to decompress, get some rest, and show us who they truly are.

Please don’t scroll past. They need us, and we need you.💙

Text 210-372-5995 to foster!

SNIPSA has RESCUE PRIDE 🌈💕🌼🎶

Last weekend, we participated in our first ever Pride River Barge! Joined by the beautiful @mistressbabyraedrag and talented Lando with @houseofrhythom, we jammed, shook our tails, and waved signs with our favorite rescue animals at @thesanantonioriverwalk.

As an inclusive organization and workspace, our goal is to bring people TOGETHER for our animals. It was wonderful to see people we recognized along the riverwalk, shouting their support in their SNIPSA merch. 😝🫶 Not to mention, finishing our “shift” with a SPURS WIN was such an incredible way to end the night!

We are proud to be San Antonians, and proud to stand with you. Thank you, SNIPSA peeps, for spreading love with us every day. 🏳️‍🌈🐶
