binka is Back!binka has returned yet again for another round of supporting the homeless animals of San Antonio. For every binka purchase in the Windflower Spa at the Hyatt Regency Hill Country Resort & Spa, they will donate 10% of their profit to SNIPSA! We are very thankful for the opportunity to team up with others that share the same passion for saving lives. In the summer of 2004, Jessica launched the first binka collection. Inspired by growing up on the beaches of Jupiter, Florida with her shelter dog, Binki, Jessica created binka; the anytime, anywhere, comfy and unique clothing line made for the young at heart in all of us. Whether it's a night on the town, a trip to the gym, or lounging around, binka style just fits. Both Binki and Zoe, (Jessica’s newest shelter pup), were adopted from shelters and given a second chance at life. In return, they’ve given back endless love and companionship. Binki passed away of canine lymphosarcoma in 2003. Her amethyst charm dots the "i" in "binka” and her memories continue to live on through the line. Zoe has taken Binki's place playing on the beaches of Jupiter and inspires Jessica to continue supporting abused and homeless animals. Every piece of excess fabric and a portion of binka’s proceeds are donated to various shelters and rescue groups, providing bedding and care for animals that don’t have a place to call home. With your purchase, you are joining binka’s mission to support abused and homeless animals all over the United States. Be sure to check out the binka girl website here and don't forget to visit Windflower - the Hill Country Spa at the Hyatt Regency Hill Country Resort & Spa to see the binka collection! |

Girl Scouts Reach Out!SNIPSA would like to give a big THANK YOU to the Girl Scouts of San Antonio, Troop 379 for coming out to our adoption event and volunteering their time, effort, and sharing their love for animals! They were also kind enough to donate a box of those sinfully delicious cookies to send home with each family that adopted a dog! We are so grateful to have such wonderful volunteers that are willing to come out on their weekends to hang out with us and help us find homes for these deserving pups! Thanks girls! |

Ricky Bobby - Dog of the WeekRicky Bobby had a tough go of it for awhile but that life is far behind him now. This guy was actually owner surrendered to ACS with another dog in horrifying condition. He was matted almost beyond recognition and suffering from an underlying skin condition that caused him severe pain. How anyone could let two dogs get to this shape is beyond comprehension to anyone with an ounce of compassion. SNIPSA was sure this little guy would get adopted but people were not looking through his mats and there he sat. A last minute plea came out and we recognized him and quickly stepped in. After a nice search we got him all groomed, cleaned up and identified his skin condition and were able to begin treatment and trying to make this a happy little puppy. Now we need to give Ricky Bobby the life of happiness and pampering he deserves. He loves to nuzzle up on his little doggie bed and take naps. When going for a walk he stays right by his foster mom's side and trots along happily. Play time in the back yard consists of chasing his rope toys around, even tossing it to himself and pouncing on it all while looking up with his adorable underbite. Who would not fall in love with this face?! Ricky's handsome luxurious coat is growing back and he is ready to make you swoon.. |

SNIPITS From AdoptersTrevor.. now Baxter "Baxter's first night was a little rough, but since then he has definitely settled in. He loves Lolly and follows her EVERYWHERE! The kids are enjoying training him and he is learning incredibly fast! Such a smart and sweet dog! He knows the commands "sit, down, stay" (but not for too long), outside, go push (what we say to pee and poop) and kennel (but he really would rather not go there because outside the kennel is too fun). We renamed him Baxter even though Charlie liked Trevor, Alex couldn't remember it and called him Travis, so we spent a few days as a family learning his personality and figuring out a name. We love him so much! Thanks again!" |

The Big FixSNIPSA Fixes En Masses
It was another long day for the SNIPSA team and its Volunteers with 272 dogs and cats being sterilized at Miller’s Pond Community Center on the City’s Westside. This caps off SNIPSA’s 19th Big Fix having spayed and neutered over 4500 animals free of charge for pet owners since its inception of the Big Fix clinics in 2010. Mass sterilization is key in helping San Antonio reach its No-Kill goal. Not only have we ramped up our efforts of saving lives from Animal Care Services, San Antonio has also committed to funding a portion of our Big Fix efforts. Target neighborhoods are identified based on zip codes with the highest number of stray and homeless animals. Volunteers then go door-to door distributing bilingual flyers soliciting appointments as needed. This is as grassroots as it gets - identifying exactly where our homeless animals reside and educating pet owners about the importance of spaying and neutering, vaccinations, and microchipping. This is often an animal’s first encounter with veterinary care so protecting them with core vaccinations is important to keep them healthy as well as implanting a microchip to reunite that pet with its owners in the event it gets lost. By far, this is SNIPSA’s most popular event among Volunteers. A dog or cat comes in, gets sterilized, and a grateful owner is reunited with his four-legged companion taking pride in being a responsible pet owner. To read more about our most recent Big Fix, check out the exclusive story from the San Antonio Express News here. A special thanks to STVS for sending our their staff and to Councilman Rey Saldana for funding a portion of our spay and neuter efforts. Until April….when we will do it all over again!
