Fostering & Home Owners; How It helps Your Community!

San Antonio Pets Alive

San Antonio Pets Alive! is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization. Due to alarming euthanasia rates, San Antonio Pets Alive! (SAPA!) was founded in 2011. SAPA! is unique—it is the only high-paced, high-volume rescue in San Antonio, saving 5,500 at-risk cats and dogs from euthanasia annually.

Since its inception, SAPA! has saved more than 75,000+ dogs and cats. SAPA! provides safety nets for the dogs and cats that fall through the cracks of all other lifesaving options and end up on the euthanasia list at the city shelter, often with just hours to be saved. SAPA! promotes the availability of these dogs and cats to other rescues, adopters, and fosters.

Our mission is to provide the programs and services needed to eliminate the killing of at-risk animals due to lack of space, adopter or foster

HGTV's Dave & Jenny Marrs

Dave and Jenny Marrs are a husband-and-wife duo who turn fixer uppers to fabulous homes. They even have their own show called “Fixer to Fabulous” on HGTV. They focus on restoring historic homes in their neighborhood of Bentonville, Arkansas. Together, they have completed around 300 custom new homes and run Marrs Developing, a company that specializes in the renovation and restoration of historic homes in the Northwest Arkansas area. Dave does all the heavy lifting and Jenn does the design. They face many challenges, but there is nothing this duo can’t handle.

Jenny is the creative backbone of their renovations and specializes in designing spaces that are welcoming and inviting. She believes a home is a reflection of the family who lives there, and sometimes, the most beautiful spaces are imperfect and full of character. Dave is an expert craftsman, builder, general contractor and all-around handyman. His knowledge of restoring old homes is unrivaled and his passion for bringing out the charm of historic homes is contagious.

Jenny and Dave have 5 kids: twin boys (Nathan and Ben), two daughters (Sylvie, who was adopted from the Congo and Charlotte) and Luke, who’s growing up at the speed of light. Things have tended to come in twos for the Marrs family. First, it was twins, and then around the same time their 3rd child was born, they adopted a 2.5 year old. It was a sigh of relief for them to have their last child to come into this world alone! They now live on a blueberry farm in Arkansas and donate the proceeds to non-profit work in Zimbabwe where they have an agricultural training program, training orphaned teens who need life skills because they haven’t been plugged into school.

Charley Fisher

Urban Garden Plants formally Urban Garden Project was founded by avid seed collector and garden educator, Charley Fisher. Her passion for finding rare, collectable heirloom seeds led her to create a seed share project with fellow collectors and small-scale seed farmers.

Charley has the advantage of being raised by farmers and growing up in the gardens of her maternal and paternal grandmothers. Her childhood was peppered with fond memories of foraging on her family’s land and learning horticulture and plant science, firsthand. Little did she know those many years ago that gardening would become her passion and life’s work. Charley’s work is centered around health and wellness through food sovereignty. Her mission is to make gardening accessible and fight the epidemic of food insecurity.

Since its inception, Charley and the team at Urban Garden Plants have worked tirelessly in underserved communities to help budding gardeners gain the knowledge they need to secure a food supply for their families. Urban Garden Plants hosts gardening classes, workshops, and lectures on a host of topics including patio and container gardening, indoor gardening, heirloom seeds, seed saving, edible gardens, urban farming, companion gardening, organic pest management, and community garden management.
