  • Summer Issue | 2008
    CHANGING LIVES THROUGH RESPONSIBILITY. Summer Issue 2008 On the Cover: Scooter Scooter, a male mixed breed, came to SNIPSA in 2005. At that time, there was no official non-profit status, just a handful of well- meaning Samaritans chasing stray and unwanted animals around San Antonio. Scooter was just another stray – running with a pack and looking for his next meal. After being detained by the St. Mary’s University campus police for traveling without a license, he made his way to the home of two veterinarians where he was scheduled to be neutered. After his surgery, Scooter was placed in an adoptive home. That didn’t work out and within a week he was back with the veterinarians. He shredded the blinds, salivated in his kennel, and proceeded to wreck havoc throughout the house. And, he never left... In 2006, the group officially formed SNIPSA – a local rescue dedicated to saving homeless and abandoned animals from high kill shelters. With the support of an incredible volunteer base and countless hours of work, SNIPSA has rescued and rehomed over 1,000 animals. Scooter’s Specs ORIGIN: running at large, St. Mary’s University ETHNICITY: mixed parentage MEASUREMENTS: 12 inch waist 18 inch chest 14 inch collar HOBBIES: listening to XM radio, getting car sick, chasing chickens, attending SNIPSA events STYLE: bringing fuchsia spandex back, Libby Lu headphones, Plush Puppy Volumizing Mousse for a shiny, healthy coat Join us in raising awareness about homeless animals in our community. Get your running shoes on for SNIPSA’s SPAY/NEUTER OUTREACH Race proceeds will benefit: First Annual 5K Race for the Rescues.
