Hi there! My name is Ace and I am a 9 month old young lad.

When you come to meet me at the shelter you will notice that I have a very shiny and beautiful short-haired coat that is mainly black.

I have two larger areas of white fur which are located between my front and back legs and my belly has a nice white marking as well. I think these markings make me extra special because they make me look so cute and unique! My eyes are very unusual as they are not your run-of-the mill yellow but more of a darker shade that will remind you of a beautiful sunset.

I  have had a few changes in my life lately and still feel a bit timid at first but you will see that I will warm up to you very quickly and that I am always good for some fun and games with my toys. When will you come to cuddle and play with me? I hope to see you soon at the Humane Society of San Antonio!

Hello! My name is Kitty and I am a 9 year old female feline with a beautiful brown and white fur of short length.

To mix things up a bit my sleek coat is also sporting some copper-colored smaller patches of fur.

My former owner was unable to take care of me and I haven’t been long at the Humane Society of San Antonio. I am still a little bit unsure of my new surroundings; but everyone here is so nice to me and I am very confident I will find my new forever home very soon! I cannot wait to meet you and to show you my affection with my purr.

152 dogs and cats were spayed/neutered in one day.

Editor's Note: Thank you Laura for sharing this story.  AlamoCityTimes.com would like to recognized the incredible work and contribution to our community by the SNIPSA Team.  Check out the video is a commendable effort.

Did you know? San Antonio euthanizes over 30,000 healthy and adoptable animals every year and thousands more are picked up from city streets by Department of Solid Waste. To assist with the problem, Spay Neuter Inject Protect of San Antonio (SNIPSA) recently launched a MASH style spay/neuter outreach program, the Big Fix, to serve targeted neighborhoods.

What is a MASH clinic? Each MASH style spay/neuter clinic is fully equipped with surgery tables, anesthetic machines, autoclaves, surgery packs, kennels, and the support staff needed to sterilize over 100 dogs and cats in a day.  Often pet owners who struggle with limited financial resources are unable to pay for spaying/neutering their pets. SNIPSA understands these challenges...

Hey there guys! My name is Rocco and I'm a 1 ½ year old male Akita and Boxer mix.

Don't let my name fool you I'm as soft as the teddy bear I like to play with! I was recently transferred to the shelter and cant wait to meet my new family.

My pretty golden coat and light brown eyes surely shine in the sun light. I am very playful and loving with everyone I meet. When engaging in a conversation, I like to perk up my big ears as if I know what you are saying or thinking. Its super cute! Ive been described as a gentle young man who enjoys being active and having fun.

Fetching tennis balls and carrying them around in my mouth while you run next to me is soo much fun. My ideal family would enjoy going out on daily walks, running around the yard with all sorts of toys and lounging on a nice comfy couch with me by their side the whole time! When we finally meet my eyes will sparkle with joy. Please don't make me wait any longer; come to the Humane Society of San Antonio today and see if Im your guy!

My Lab, like many labs, just loves sun and water.  Give her a pool, and she would be there all day long.  We don't have one at home, so our sprinkler takes its place, and Negrita just loves playing with it.  So we are hoping the sun comes back out soon... having a muddy yard and a wet Labrador in the living room is not fun ;)

Anyway, check out this summer time video. " Lab Vs. Sprinkler " She can do this for hours.   :) Who do you think won?
