SNIPSA (Spay-Neuter-Inject-Protect San Antonio) is an all-volunteer, 501(c)(3) rescue organization founded in 2006 by a group of veterinarians and caring individuals dedicated to helping homeless and unwanted animals in San Antonio and surrounding areas. Unlike traditional shelters, SNIPSA operates entirely through a foster-based model, with volunteers opening their homes to rehabilitate animals rescued from area shelters whose time is running out.
Beyond rescue and adoption, SNIPSA addresses pet overpopulation at its root through their Big Fix clinics — large-scale operations providing sterilization, vaccinations, and microchipping for hundreds of cats and dogs in a single day. To date, SNIPSA has rehomed more than 24,000 animals and completed over 30,000 spay/neuter surgeries, making a tremendous impact on San Antonio's animal welfare.
