SAN MARCOS ANIMAL SHELTER
The San Marcos Regional Animal Shelter is in desperate need of help. In a post on the shelter’s instagram page from May 14, it said that 111 animals entered the shelter in the week prior. Seven dogs will be humanely euthanized on Tuesday, May 21, if they are not put in foster, adopted or flagged by a rescue organization.
SMRA said that Hopper is a 5-year-old Australian Shepherd mix. He’s heartworm positive, but the shelter covers costs for treatment. He presents some reactivity when behind a barrier such as a fence, kennel wall or car window, which can deter adopters. Hopper can be slow to give trust but is extremely loyal once he does. He is highly treat motivated, and he has some spectacular skills catching them. The shelter feels he would do best in a home without young children and with an adopter who can offer him the patience he needs to acclimate to a new environment.
