When SNIPSA launched its Big Fix clinics in May 2009, more than 100 animals were being euthanized every day in San Antonio. We knew that more sterilized pets in our city would result in fewer entering shelters and fewer being euthanized.

SNIPSA holds day-long Big Fix clinics, in partnership with churches and community centers, in neighborhoods where the largest numbers of stray and un-owned animals roam the streets. To-date we have sterilized over 19,500 dogs and cats in 50 Big Fix clinics.

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.

In cooperation with the San Antonio Food Bank, we provide food to neighbors experiencing food insecurity.

If you are interested in seeking support, please reach out to the organization directly; the Petco Foundation does not accept individual requests for support.

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.
