Events
Our adoption events are fast-paced
and fun! We need an average
of 25-30 volunteers per event.
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
1500 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!
Canine Crew
We need help taking care of the dogs
at our office during the week! You’ll
help walk the dogs, clean out crates,
and set them up for their stay.
In-Office Help
We need help in our office during the
week! Our needs vary, so the ability to
“go with the flow” is important. Jobs may
include organizing, cleaning, data entry,
filing and marketing support.
Youth Volunteering &
Group Volunteer Programs
Under 14 Years Old
We recognize that children under 14 years also want to be philanthropic and that not all parents may 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.
Learn More
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.

Precious, petite lil’ Poppet! 💕 Everyone loves a Chug (or a Chihuahua/Pug mix), and this girl is no exception. Chugs are known to be affectionate, loyal and confident companions. Our Poppet fits this bill with her easygoing, upbeat personality. In addition, her adorable underbite and stumpy legs are just too cute to pass up! ✨ Poppet thrives around her people, and she will let you know how much she loves you by giving you all of her best cuddles and tail wags. While Poppet is potty trained and crate trained, she loves to share the bed with you, curling right up in your arms or at your feet. As an adult, she has also mastered all of her manners, so you get to skip out on that stubborn puppy training phase! She won’t be getting any bigger either, making her the perfect size to tag along with you wherever you go! Submit an application to meet Poppet today if you’re looking for your next best pal! 🫶

Who’s the best boy?! Landon’s the best boy! 🤗 If you’re searching for a dog with a lust for life, stop right here. Landon is the biggest, happiest and most entertaining canine we know. Engaging beyond measure, this doggo is so eager to be a part of your world. Apart from his natural desire to please his humans, Landon will do anything for a treat or a toy!! 🍗🎾 You should see his “hops” when he finally gets the tennis ball throw he’s been waiting for. And sometimes, he’ll even catch it in his mouth! It’s thought that Landon belonged to someone at some point despite being found wandering the streets. He is potty-trained, well-socialized and knows several commands such as sit, lay down and stay. Landon also keeps all four paws on the ground, making him a good fit for families with children despite his hefty size. His foster family just loves him and would keep him if they had the space. Give this well-rounded guy a forever home and he will surely become your DREAM DOG. Apply to meet Landon today! 🫶✨
