Wounded and Injured in the Line of Duty
When one of our Green Berets is wounded or injured in the line of duty, we send them and their family a $2,500 check and essential gear for a temporary hospital stay that is packed in a Special Forces-grade, durable, and versatile GORUCK GR1 backpack. These packs are generously donated by GORUCK, a Special Forces Veteran-owned business.
We ensure that key family members are at the soldier’s bedside. We provide financial support for family members’ travel not covered by the Army and support for other family needs such as child care, pet kenneling, and fuel cards. We will also help ship privately owned vehicles to the military treatment facility if required.
Casualty Support Process:

2. Green Beret Foundation receives and reviews the request.
3. Green Beret Foundation sends a $2500 check in a rucksack filled with essential gear for a temporary hospital stay.

SNIPSA launched its Big Fix clinics in May 2009. With a significant number of animals being euthanized every day in the San Antonio area, we knew there had to be a better way.
How could we target the pet-owning population and bring spay/neuter to one’s doorstep? We found that people were generally receptive to doing the “right thing”; we just needed to make it convenient and doable. Providing this service for FREE was also important to remove any barriers that might dissuade a pet owner from having his pet spayed/neutered. The more sterilized pets in our city, the less entering the doors of our shelters. It was simple.
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-Home Care to Help Seniors and Adults with Everyday Tasks:
Everyday tasks, like vacuuming or rearranging the basement, can be difficult for a senior with arthritis. Organizing a closet can be extremely tiring for a cancer patient. These simple tasks are never ending and, if they become more challenging during post-op, or due to treatment or age-related conditions, they can take precious time away from an already busy schedule.
When even the most basic daily tasks become overwhelming, or you need a helping hand, we can help. BrightStar Care’s home companion services in Metro San Antonio can provide travel companionship, light housework, grocery shopping, meal prep, and much more. We are there for you.

Every animal that comes to our rescue has a story. Along with that story comes the time needed to heal mentally and physically, as well as expenses for basic care and sometimes much more. It is best to complete our Adoption Application and obtain adoption approval before setting an appointment to meet one of the animals you are interested in.
We also need fosters! If you have space for a foster animal and want the complete satisfaction of rehabilitating and re-homing an animal in need, please let us know! You can also complete our Foster Application and get a head start!
Before adoption or foster approval, we require an onsite visit to verify shelter, appropriate fencing, and water availability, as well as contact with one of the veterinarians you have used for the other animals that you have.
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.

A Doggie 4 You work to ensure each adoption is a success. We aim to ensure that the pet you adopt is the best fit for your family. Applications will be considered in the order they are received, but making the best fit is our highest priority.
Our dogs are spayed/neutered, microchipped, heartworm tested, and given appropriate distemper/parvo, rabies, and Bordetella shots.
Click here to apply for your new family member.
You will be contacted by a representative from A Doggie 4 You so that you may meet the animal you are interested in. Please understand that you are not required to adopt the dog if you do not feel this is the right situation for yourself or the dog.
That is why we have a seven-day clause in which you may return the dog for a full refund. After seven days, you may still return the dog but will not receive a refund of the adoption fee.
Our adoption fees start at $200. Prices are based on the age, sex, breed, and, at times, the vet bills associated with the dog. The adoption fee for highly adoptable dogs will be higher.
Those fees help pay for vet services on less adoptable dogs with high-cost injuries or treatable illnesses. According to Texas law, the fee is not a donation.
We are pleased to lead the effort to establish a low-cost spay/neuter clinic in Bandera County, Texas. Although still only in the early planning stages, it is never far from our thoughts and goals. Please ensure your donations toward this effort are noted as such.
