SAN MARCOS, Texas -- The San Marcos Regional Animal Shelter is at capacity for both adoptable dogs and cats and is extending the $1 adoption special to include both cats and dogs through the end of October.

• Adoption special includes vaccinations and microchips
• Shelter has enacted several policies to reduce the rate of euthanasia

Jeff Caldwell, director of Neighborhood Services, said that the adoption special includes the pet’s spay or neuter, kennel vaccinations, rabies vaccinations, microchip and city license.

"This is the perfect time to make an addition to your family and provide a forever home for one of these special animals," said Caldwell.

The shelter is encouraging anyone who has been considering adopting a pet to visit shelter. Those interested in adopting must fill out an adoption application and bring a landlord’s letter or proof of home ownership. All family members, and current dogs if adopting a second dog, must also meet the potential new family member prior to adoption.
