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
more than 2600 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!

In-Office Help

We always need help in our office during the week. Our needs vary, so the ability to “go with the flow” is important. Tasks include bathing and walking rescues, cleaning crates and tools, data entry, marketing support and more.

Under 14 Years Old

We recognize that children under 14 years want to be philanthropic and that not all parents 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!

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.

For those of you who didn’t know, our office cat is our resident dog tester! 🤭

Sal is always down for a square-off with our new intakes. He has a knack for revealing a dog’s temperament around small animals and children. Sometimes we have to hold Sal back, but this is a job he enjoys! And he ALWAYS comes out on top! 👊💥

Senior dog lovers, we need you! 👋

Who can provide our Betty White with a cozy space in which she can await her forever person? 🧡 This girl is cuddly, curious, and she eats well, despite her old age. She doesn’t mind short leashed walks (or trolley rides) around the neighborhood and occasionally will churn out zoomies in the yard. Betty does have a slight head tilt from an injury that occurred before her rescue. We think it just adds to her charm, and she doesn’t seem to mind it, either. 🥰

Betty is as deserving as any for a foster! We are desperate for someone to take her in and give her the love she deserves. 🙏 For more information, please text us at (210) 371-0056.

We’ve got that Friday feeling!! 💫🧸

Thank you to all of the amazing fosters, old and new, who opened your doors to a SNIPSA rescue this weekend! It’s nice to have an empty office — more space to help more animals next week. 💗
