The public is invited to two upcoming San Marcos Regional Animal Shelter events hosted by local businesses.
SMRAS will participate in Pups on the Patio at Torchy’s Tacos — 301 N. Guadalupe St. — on Thursday from 4-7 p.m., and Puppies on the Patio at Evo Entertainment, 1180 Thorpe Lane, on Thursday, May 20 from 5-8 p.m.
“We are so excited to get back into the community for our summer adoption events,” Program Coordinator Maria Rangel said in a statement. “We look forward to working with Torchy’s Tacos and EVO Entertainment to bring our wonderful, adoptable pets straight to you.”
According to the City of San Marcos, a few puppies and dogs will be available to adopt during Thursday’s event at Torchy’s. The taco spot will donate 15% of its sales to the shelter when customers mention SMRAS between 4-7 p.m.
The following week, EVO Entertainment hosts Puppies on the Patio, where gamecards will be available for $10 each with all of the proceeds from gamecard sales going to SMRAS. Additionally, the city said a variety of discounts will be offered from 5-8 p.m., including half-price bowling and free table games. SMRAS will also have puppies and dogs available for adoption at EVO.
SMRAS’ adoption fees are $97, which includes spay/neuter, age-appropriate vaccinations and medications, current flea, tick and heartworm prevention, a microchip, vet exam and 30 days of free pet health insurance.
