Executive Director & surgeon

“The coming years promise to be full of exciting changes as we work to make our services more accessible to the communities we serve, and to increase our capacity, enabling us to reach our goal of one million spay/neuter surgeries by 2037.”

Magda Serrano

Donor & Development Director

“It is a true honor to have been a part of the SNAP team for 20 years, and I am thankful to the amazing animal advocates who have supported SNAP since we began 30 years ago. Thank you for making a difference in the lives of the animal companions who have visited SNAP and now live healthy and litter-free lives.”

Les Wood

grants & contracts coordinator

“As SNAP’s Grants & Contracts Coordinator for almost ten years, the 30th anniversary is more to me than just a testament to surviving three decades as a nonprofit organization; it also signifies sustained dedication, resilience, and impactful change.”

John Street

practice manager houston/pasadena

“I’m excited to be part of SNAP and their longstanding service of providing affordable veterinary prevention and spay/neuter care to the community. SNAP and its dedicated staff are truly making a difference one fur patient at a time.”

Molly Phillips

practice manager ingram/Brooks

“Having had the privilege of working at SNAP for half of its existence, I am honored to be a part of an organization that is making such a positive change in the world. Our work has made a direct and daily impact in reducing the number of healthy companion animals being euthanized simply for having no home. What we do is vital to the community, and it is so fulfilling to know we are making a difference one animal at a time.”
