SNIPSA launched its Big Fix clinics in May 2009. With a significant number of animals being euthanized every day in the San Antonio area, we knew there had to be a better way.

How could we target the pet-owning population and bring spay/neuter to one’s doorstep? We found that people were generally receptive to doing the “right thing”; we just needed to make it convenient and doable. Providing this service for FREE was also important to remove any barriers that might dissuade a pet owner from having his pet spayed/neutered. The more sterilized pets in our city, the less entering the doors of our shelters. It was simple.  

Big Fix clinics also save taxpayer dollars. It costs roughly $15,000 to host a Big Fix clinic, which is a smart investment considering that it would costs taxpayers almost 10 times that amount to impound, house, and ultimately euthanize the nearly 400 animals that are sterilized at a typical Big Fix clinic.

SNIPSA depends on grants and private donations to host its Big Fix clinics. Click here to help sponsor our next Big Fix clinic or here for other donation options.

Please note that KRR is not a facility. We recieve a lot of emails asking for a location to visit the dogs. All adoptable dogs are in personal homes so a time needs to be arranged to meet with them. The first step in the adoption process is to fill out the application here. Processing applications takes a lot of time so please only apply if you are serious and willing to wait approximately a week to 10 days. All volunteers work full time jobs as well.

Once the application is processed a home visit will be conducted (locally) to ensure a safe home for the dog. Meet and greets will be scheduled either during the home visit or at another time so the dog and the adopter can select each other.

Every animal that comes into our rescue has a story. Along with that story comes time needed to heal, both mentally and physically, as well as expenses for basic care and sometimes much more. It is best to complete our Adoption Application and obtain adoption approval prior to setting an appointment to meet one of the animals you are interested in.

We also need fosters! If you have space for a foster animal and want the complete satisfaction of rehabilitating and re-homing animal in need, please let us know! You can also complete our Foster Application and get a head start!

Prior to adoption or foster approval, we require an onsite visit to verify shelter, appropriate fencing, water availability as well as contact with one of the veterinarians you have used for the other animals that you have.
