Events
Our adoption events are fast-paced
and fun! We need an average
of 10-20 volunteers per event. While we don't have any currently scheduled due to COVID, most events are schedule on the weekends.
Volunteers are the
Heartbeat of SNIPSA
Why Volunteer?
Our SNIPSA volunteers dedicate their time giving to the animals in the community because they believe in what we do. Each year, we rescue over 1000 animals from dire situations off the streets and from local animal shelters. We spay/neuter, vaccinate, and microchip
1500 animals residing in low income areas of town that would otherwise continue to reproduce and contribute to San Antonio’s huge stray population. We do all of this because of YOU, our volunteers, and we can always use more hands on deck!
Canine Crew
We need help taking care of the dogs
at our office during the week! You’ll
help walk the dogs, clean out crates,
and set them up for their stay.
General Support
We need help in our office during the
week! Our needs vary, so the ability
to “go with the flow” is required! This may
include organizing, cleaning, and filing.
Youth Volunteering &
Group Volunteer Programs
Under 14 Years Old
We recognize that children under 14 years also want to be philanthropic and that not all parents may have the ability to volunteer with their children. As a result, we’ve created a few activities that kids can do at home or school to contribute to SNIPSA and earn volunteer hours.
Learn More
Ages 14 - 15
We always want to be supportive of kids with a giving heart. We have a few volunteer opportunities for children, but ask that both the child and parent/legal guardian complete a volunteer profile. The parent or guardian must accompany the child at all times.

Group Volunteer Program
Our group volunteering opportunities allow for corporate or organizational groups to assist with events for SNIPSA. Volunteer groups are typically groups of 10-15 people that volunteer for 2-hour shifts or longer. Volunteer groups operate on a first come, first serve basis, and fill up quickly.

🐶 Meet Frankie! Our Rescue of the Week! 🐶
Frankie is a member of our “lowrider” club. This Basset Hound/Pitbull Terrier mix is as sweet as he is energetic. Our sweet Frankie quite enjoys playing with other dogs. He would thrive in a home / environment with another dog. He loves being with, and will be very loyal to “his people”. This big boy would do best in a home with older children as he just doesn’t know his own strength. He is active and enjoys exercise and playtime. If you’re a lover of the great outdoors or like to rack up those miles on your Fitbit, this is the guy for you. However, as the sun sets and night-time approaches, this sweet boy is ready to snuggle in and call it a day. So be sure to have a bed and blanket ready! As mentioned, Frankie LOVES his humans and he will do best as an only pet. As a side note, he tested positive for heartworms but has already received treatment. He is on the road to recovery and won’t miss a beat.
If Frankie sounds like the perfect buddy for you, complete an application today at snipsa.org/!

🐶❤️ Remember Mamacita? Take a look at this super special Rescue Tails!
SCORE! Friends needing friends. How awesome is it when a once homeless dog becomes the center of a resident Retirement Community. There simply aren’t enough pats, smiles, and cheers to go around. We send a sincere thank you to Blue Skies of Texas for opening their hearts and home to “Mamacita” aka “Honey” who now spends her hours entertaining residents, warming laps, and simply being accepting of all people in their current stage of life.

🐶 Meet Señor, our rescue of the week! ❤
Have you ever wondered what it would be like to have a life-long, devoted companion whose only want is to be with his family that she loves so 1very much?
If this rings true for you, meet Señor! I mean, just look at those eyes!! This precious 5-month-old white and brown-haired male was found just before his time in his high-kill shelter ran out. Even though his life thus far has not been ideal, he has never lost the hope that he will find her forever family. As soon as this little man walked through our doors, our hearts were hooked. He is the perfect balance of playful yet mellow, sweet yet strong, intelligent yet submissive. When full-grown, Señor will be on the larger side, which is great for anyone looking for a walking or jogging companion. This sweet boy will do best with an active owner/family, as he will want to get out and burn off some daily energy. And yes, it gets better. Not only will Señor be your new loving shadow, but he is also wonderful with children- gentle and devoted to all family members.
I mean, we could go on…but the answer to the question you are no doubt thinking, “Is this possibly the perfect dog for me and my family??”- the answer is- yes, yes, and YES! Dogs like Señor don’t come around often so don’t delay- this just might be the best decision you’ll ever make.
Apply to Adopt Senor at SNIPSA.org!
