My story

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

“The most beautiful thing you can be is yourself” – Barbie

This darling, scruffy girl has SO much beauty underneath—and we can’t wait to uncover it.

Neglected, undersocialized, and covered in her own matted fur and feces, Barbie came into our care only knowing fear and pain. But after a sedated groom and a few cozy nights at SNIPSA, she has begun showing us some of her personality through little kisses and tentative tail wags.

Our SNIPSA team is dedicated to helping Barbie transform into her best self in 2026, and that includes finding her a forever home! She is already adjusting to domestic life, and we can see her running around your dreamhouse, helping you cook, playing tennis, and taking trips to the beach. She will require the occasional groom to upkeep her hair (once it grows back! <3) as a Maltese/Shih Tzu mix. Besides that, routine, patience, and plenty of love will make her the happiest doll around.

Apply to meet Barbie and watch her true beauty emerge with every passing day.

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.
