My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Mmm-mmm, don’t you want a taste of these adorable Texas rescues? Prickly Pear and Jalapeño are two of the best flavors of the Lone Star State. This pair was initially part of a litter of eight that was rescued with their mama, Miss Texas. After a few weeks, these adorable siblings are the last ones left from their pack! 

Prickly Pear is a loving little girl who is thriving in her foster home! She has a playful, joyful temperament and loves running around with the other resident dogs. We estimate she will grow anywhere from 30-50 pounds, so she will also be a great size one day! Prickly Pear is your classic example of a "San Antonio Special," but our best guess is that she has some Labrador Retriever and Border Collie mixed in. Both of these breeds are known for their intelligence and fun-loving attitudes. If you live an active lifestyle or have children, this pup might be the perfect addition to your home. At her young age, she will adjust well to most home environments as long as you can offer an adequate amount of time, training and patience. So, if you’re hankering for some southern cuisine, plate up this yummy pup! Apply to meet Prickly Pear today!

More about this rescue

SNIPSA is an organization formed by a group of veterinarians and caring individuals dedicated to helping homeless and unwanted animals in San Antonio and the surrounding area. SNIPSA does not have a standing shelter and depends on a core of volunteers to foster and rehabilitate animals in their homes. This provides us with the opportunity to learn first hand about the animal’s needs and behavior in order to facilitate an appropriate adoption. SNIPSA was incorporated in 2005 and has re-homed more than 3000 animals.
