Event encourages Hays County residents to experience the joys of pet adoption
San Marcos Regional Animal Shelter has teamed with thousands of animal organizations from around the world to participate in the annual Home 4 the Holidays pet adoption drive, founded by Helen Woodward Animal Center.
The campaign, which runs from Oct. 1 through Jan. 4 unites over 3,500 partner organizations with a focused goal of placing orphaned pets into loving homes.
The San Marcos Regional Animal Shelter invites the community to be a part of the movement by participating in Adopt a Shelter Dog Month, which is taking place through October 31. The event will kick off several months of Home 4 the Holidays events.
During the Adopt a Shelter Dog Month every adoptable dog’s adoption fee will be discounted to only $20! The adoption will include the sterilization, rabies vaccination, de-worming, general health check, micro-chipping, and testing for heartworms. In addition the San Marcos Regional Animal Shelter offer 50% adoption rates for select animals during the entire campaign from Oct.1 through Jan. 2.
“We are proud to be a part of this amazing campaign and we’re dedicated to placing animals in homes where they will be loved for the rest of their furry little lives,” said Erin McCann, Animal Shelter Supervisor. “The team here at The San Marcos Regional Animal Shelter is specially trained and can help families choose the perfect pet for their personalities and lifestyles.”
