Tami has had a lifelong love of the veterinary field. From 9 years of age, she trained eight guide dogs for the blind and raised market pigs, goats, dairy heifers, and sheep all through high school.
Her current menagerie of creatures includes two teenagers, numerous dog and cat fosters, 6 permanent fur babies, a bunny, a cockatiel, and 2 saltwater fish tanks – she’s a lover of all animals. She even met her husband of 22 years at the county fair when he helped her catch a runaway sheep!
While traveling the world with her family through 20 years of Navy life, Tami has worked extensively in animal hospitals and bird farms throughout Southern California, Oregon, Southern Spain, and Texas. She attended California Polytechnic University at Pomona studying animal science and holds a bachelor’s degree in healthcare management.

We are truly feeling the love! ✨❤️
This pawsome group of ladies hosted a Galentine’s supply drive for their SNIPSA dog Dilly’s 2nd birthday last week.
Today, they stopped by and dropped off almost 100 pounds of dog food, 12 handmade blankets, and various other supplies for our rescues in Dilly’s honor.
THANK YOU times a million, and HAPPY BIRTHDAY to the sweetest girl! 🎉 🎂

Smile Fosters! You’ve got a Candy Gram. 🍬💘
Well, maybe not candy, but these two sweethearts need a little EXTRA love this Valentine’s Day! 💞
Valentine and Venus urgently need fosters; we’d love to see them snuggled up by this afternoon. Pick up by 2 PM today— our office is closing early for a much-needed company outing! 🤠
Valentine and Venus are truly special girls! Easy-going, crate-trained, potty-trained; you really couldn’t ask for a more perfect pup!
If you can open your heart (and home) to one of these lovebugs, let us know ASAP!
Please help us give them the Valentine’s Day they deserve! 🐶💌

February is Responsible Pet Ownership Month! 🐕🐈
Spaying and neutering saves lives—it’s that simple. ✅
Millions of pets end up in shelters every year and some never find homes. Spaying or neutering your pet prevents unwanted litters, reduces health risks, and helps create safer communities. Don’t let myths stand in the way of responsible pet ownership! 🐶💙

Did one of these little angels strike you with their arrow? 👼💘 Good, because they urgently need a place to stay!
We are in desperate need of fosters before 2 p.m. on Friday. The SNIPSA staff will be out of office on a field trip and we need all of our animals GONE. 👋
You can choose to indulge in some puppy kisses or take a chance on Ruby—a calm girl with the sweetest smushy face. Ruby does well in her kennel and she is friendly towards other dogs.
Enjoy some love with no strings attached this Valentine’s Day. 🤭💋 To open your heart to a foster, please contact (210) 372-5995!

On this edition of Pet of the Week, we would like to introduce four puppies full of L-O-V-E! 🥰
Drumstick, Sundae, Creamsicle and Choco Taco were rescued in November 2024, and they are each on the hunt for their perfect match! These kiddos suffered from a fungal infection at the time of their transfer, but they have fully recovered. And don’t they look incredible?! 👀 They are the perfect example of “started from the bottom, now we’re here!”
On top of their newfound good looks, our Ice Cream Litter is the perfect blend of playful energy and cuddly charm. 🍦❤️ If they’re not wrestling around together, they’re napping in a puppy pile or snuggling up to the first human they can find. They are happier and healthier than ever—all that is left is for them to find their families. Could that be with you?
If you’ve got a heart for hounds, don’t miss out! Visit SNIPSA.ORG/PUPPIES to apply. ✨🐾

Meet Hainey 🤩 a fun-loving friend at @karask9retreat!
We are looking for a suitable forever home for this delightful 2-year-old girl, where she will receive the love and attention she craves. Hainey is a sweet, intelligent, and goofy pup who thrives on human interaction. 🧡 As a high-energy dog, she requires daily exercise and playtime to stay happy and healthy.
Although her breed is not definitively known, her strong chase drive necessitates careful supervision around smaller pets, such as cats. Having attended daycare for 1 1/2 years, Hainey has demonstrated exceptional social skills with dogs of similar size. We hope to find a home with another canine companion to keep her engaged and entertained, as she has lived with another playful pup for over a year. Please reach out if you would like to meet Hainey and enjoy her loyalty and love!

Tomorrow, we say goodbye to miss Reagan, a team member with a heart of gold! 🥲🧡
Reagan has many titles at SNIPSA: veterinary technician, bottle baby mama, Great Dane whisperer, Christmas tree girl, queen of the dog room at the Big Fix, and creative mastermind. 🧑🎨 She has been involved with our organization for many years—You’d be hard pressed to find a SNIPSA photo album without her gorgeous face.
Reagan is embarking on a new career path and we wish her nothing but love and luck as she begins this journey. We are going to miss you, Ray Ray, but we know we’ll be seeing yaaa! 👋
