After more than four years of dreaming and planning, our SNIPSA van has finally gotten its makeover, and we couldn’t be more excited to show it off! 🎨🐾
Bringing this vision to life is the incredible artwork of Patti Schermerhorn, a talented local artist, devoted SNIPSA foster, and longtime friend of our rescue. Patti generously opened her collection of artwork, allowing us to feature pieces from her Peace, Love & Paws series. Now, her colorful creations will travel the streets of San Antonio, helping us spread our mission of saving lives everywhere we go!
Patti, you have shared your he(ART) with SNIPSA in so many ways over the years, and this gift is especially meaningful. We are beyond grateful for your generosity, friendship, and unwavering love for our animals. What a beautiful way to turn art into awareness!
Thank you for helping us take our mission on the road in the most colorful way possible! ❤️🐶🚐
At SNIPSA, our rescued pets hold a permanent spot in our hearts, so this year, we put together a traditional ofrenda in our front office to honor and remember all the beloved pets, fosters, and rescues we’ve loved and lost.
So, what exactly is an ofrenda? Originating from Día de los Muertos (Day of the Dead) traditions, an ofrenda (Spanish for “offering”) is a beautiful home altar or display created to welcome back the souls of loved ones who have passed away. Decorated with bright marigolds, candles, framed photos, and favorite treats, it acts as a joyful beacon to guide their spirits back home for a sweet annual reunion.
Our four-legged family members give us a lifetime of unconditional love, and our office altar is our way of honoring our beloved pets who’ve passed.
Missy is the undisputed queen of fun, and her personality is as big as her love for a good game of dress-up! If you’re looking for a companion who brings pure joy to every room, you’ve found her. When she’s not busy playing fashion model with her many foster siblings, you’ll find this athletic girl perfecting her moves on her favorite doggy trampoline… and seriously, she has hops!
While she’s a total blast to hang out with, Missy is also deeply loyal to her people. She’s the type of girl who loves to bond and will stick by your side through thick and thin. She appreciates a proper, polite introduction when meeting new friends, but once she knows you’re part of her pack, that tail won’t stop wagging!
Missy’s journey to us was a whirlwind! She was pulled from a shelter’s urgent list just in time, and her foster family has been helping her shine ever since. She is now patiently waiting for her own real-life fairytale to begin.
Could that happy ending be with you? Apply to meet this spunky, trampoline-loving sweetheart today!
