Every day, countless animals face abandonment, neglect and even death. SNIPSA is a nonprofit organization based in San Antonio devoted to changing their fate. Founded by a dedicated team of veterinarians, SNIPSA is a beacon of hope for these unwanted and homeless animals. With its mission to rescue, rehabilitate, and rehome cats and dogs, SNIPSA transforms lives and addresses a critical community need. At the heart of SNIPSA’s efforts is also a commitment to reducing animal overpopulation. Through free or low-cost spay/neuter services at its office or Big Fix Clinics, SNIPSA addresses the homeless animal problem at the root.
THE BIG FIX
SNIPSA holds The Big Fix several times a year for underserved animals and pet owners in San Antonio. These free clinics provide hundreds of spay/neuter surgeries, vaccinations and microchips in a single day! With over 30,000 cats and dogs impounded in San Antonio every year, rescues like SNIPSA must go the extra mile to reduce the homeless animal population. Large-scale sterilization at clinics like The Big Fix help provide a long-term and effective solution to keep unwanted litters off our streets and out of our shelters. SNIPSA’s next Big Fix clinic is on November 2nd, 2024. Please visit snipsa.org/the-big-fix for more information.
RESCUE TAILS
SNIPSA often rehabilitates animals facing multiple, severe medical challenges. Collin was just another pup battling allergic dermatitis and infectious hepatitis—two conditions that require extensive diagnosis, treatments and ongoing care. Thanks to the unwavering devotion of the SNIPSA team and his loving foster family, Collin has since recovered. None of this would be possible without the support that allows us to give animals like Collin the second chance they deserve.
SNIPSA’s important work goes beyond community outreach; it creates lasting change for humans and animals alike – because rescue is just that!
GET INVOLVED
SNIPSA does not have a standing shelter and relies on a core group of volunteers to foster and rehabilitate animals in their homes. This provides the organization with the opportunity to learn about the animal’s needs and behavior in order to find them the right home! SNIPSA also depends on kind-hearted volunteers to help manage adoption events, office work and the Big Fix Clinics. With the help of its community, SNIPSA has rehomed more than 20,000 animals and spayed/neutered over 27,500 underserved pets—and doesn’t plan on stopping.
