SAN MARCOS ANIMAL SHELTER
San Marcos Regional Animal Shelter is facing a crisis as kennels overflow and 44 dogs are left without individual spaces. The shelter is urging the community to help by adopting, fostering or assisting with rescue placements to save lives.
According to Minnie Buckhaults, SMRAS community engagement coordinator, the shelter is completely full and every adoption, foster placement or rescue can make a difference. As of the latest report, the shelter houses 169 dogs and 173 cats, with only 32 dogs and 79 cats in foster homes. Between Nov. 25 and Dec. 1, the shelter took in 31 new dogs and 20 new cats, adding to the overcrowding.
