🐾 WHY WE DID THIS 🐾
At Twisted Tattoo, we don’t just love ink — we’re full-blown obsessed with animals too. 🐍🐠🐱🐢
Between James and Denise (our fearless leaders) and their SIX cats, fish tanks galore, and turtles... to our 16+ artists who are proud parents to everything from rescue dogs and sassy cats to lizards, snakes, and fish — our artists have found their pets forever homes through ADOPTION. ❤️🐾
We’ve seen firsthand how much joy and chaos (the good kind) pets bring into your life, and we want to help more animals find their forever weirdos.
So we teamed up with local shelters to host this adoption + fundraiser event where we raise money to COVER THE FEES so people can adopt for free.
Help us make it happen! ✨🐶🖤
Our Event
We partnered with Helotes Humane Society and God's Dogs to bring adorable, adoptable pets to our event on Sunday, April 27th at 1031 Patricia Dr. Suite 100. Thanks to the incredible support from our community, 6 dogs and 6 cats found their forever homes that day. Guests enjoyed meeting these loving animals, and many left with a new best friend. We’re so grateful to everyone who came out and helped make a difference in the lives of these pets!
12+ Lives Were Changed
Our adoption event wasn’t just about finding homes—it was about changing lives. Thanks to the amazing turnout and community support, 12 pets found their forever families. Stories like this remind us why we do what we do. Here’s just one of the many lives forever changed that day:
"Hey Denise - just wanted to reach out to let you know one more time how incredibly grateful we are for today. Y'all helped Charlotte find her forever home which is incredible because she's been in foster care for TWO YEARS with no applications. Just incredible. We never get this kind of turnout for adoption events, your marketing team is absolutely FIRE. 🔥
Thank you!!!!
Sara Grossie"

God's Dogs Rescue – San Antonio, TX
Since 1995, God's Dogs Rescue has been dedicated to rescuing abused, abandoned, and neglected dogs across South Texas. Operating as a foster-based rescue, they rely on a network of over 300 foster families in the San Antonio area to provide temporary homes for dogs until they find their "furever" families. The organization ensures all dogs are fully vetted, including vaccinations, microchipping, and spay/neuter procedures. Beyond local adoptions, God's Dogs Rescue extends its reach by transporting dogs to loving homes across the country, including out-of-state placements. Their mission is rooted in compassion and community involvement, offering various ways for individuals to support their cause through fostering, volunteering, and donations.
Helotes Humane Society – San Antonio, TX
The Helotes Humane Society is a non-profit organization committed to the benevolent treatment of animals and promoting humane education. Serving Helotes and the surrounding San Antonio community, they focus on rescuing neglected, abandoned, and unwanted dogs and cats. As a foster-based rescue, most of their adoptable pets reside in foster homes, allowing for personalized care and socialization. Each animal receives age-appropriate vaccinations, testing, microchipping, and necessary spay/neuter surgeries before adoption. The society also operates the "Second Chances Thrift Shop," a store that supports their mission through sales of donated items. Volunteers play a crucial role in their operations, assisting with fostering, events, fundraising, and more.
