My story

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

Crikey!! Get a load of these blokes! Meet Steve and Irwin, two Australian Shepherd brothers who were owner-surrendered due to some unforeseen circumstances. Beautiful, boisterous and brilliant, these boys are no exception to their breed’s standards. Australian Shepherds are known for their athleticism, intelligence and high energy level. With this in mind, it is important to remember that Steve and Irwin would each benefit from active lifestyles to ensure that both their physical and mental needs are met. Whether it’s a large yard to run in, long daily walks or even some mind-stimulating toys, there are so many options to release their energy. Upon their arrival, these two fellas were quick to greet everyone with a “G’day mate!” accompanied with their tail wags that look more like the cutest little booty shakes. Steve and Irwin also wasted no time in making friends with the dogs in their foster home, so they would make great additions to a home with more canines. So, if you’re looking for your next Aussie adventurer, submit an application for one of these beauties 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.
