Events
Our adoption events are fast-paced
and fun! We need an average
of 25-30 volunteers per event.
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!

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.
We need help in our office during the
week! Our needs vary, so the ability to
“go with the flow” is important. Jobs may
include organizing, cleaning, data entry,
filing and marketing support.
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.

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.

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.

Gigi had the best weekend EVER! 🎀🌻🦴
For those of you that don’t know this girl, Gigi has come a long way. When we first met her, she was suffering from a broken jaw due to unknown trauma. She was in pain, terrified and alone.
The good news is, Gigi’s injury was easily fixable. A wire was placed behind her canine and passed through her mandible to secure the fracture. 😷 She is now eating soft food and recovering like a champ in foster care!
Over the past two weeks, Gigi has really started to flourish. She will nap on her pillow for hours then wander up for snuggles and treats. She gets along well with the other dogs in the home, too. 🌷💛
Gigi is a shining example of how a little bit of love and patience can transform a dog’s life. Please consider adopting her or donating towards her surgery costs.

We are all smiles!! 😄 Wanna know why? 👀
On Thursday, our dear friend Jen presented us with a generous donation from Enterprise. Jen is a long-term volunteer and a loving foster for countless litters of rescue kittens. 🐈 She and her team also work our Big Fix clinics every year. You guys truly surprise us with more kindness every day. Thank you!! 🙏
