Networking event ends in adoption

Networking event ends in adoption

The San Marcos Young Professionals hosted a BYOD  — Bring Your Own Dog — event last Thursday, but one dog attendee, Robert, wound up going home with his "furever" family.

The San Marcos Chamber of Commerce’s Young Professional networking group hosted a Dog Days of Summer event at Railyard Bar & Grill in celebration of Texas Senate Bill 476, also known as the Fido-Friendly Outdoor Dining Act, being signed into law on June 4.

The networking Happy Hour, sponsored by Matt Patterson Farmers Insurance, used the event to raise donations for the San Marcos Regional Animal Shelter. But in addition to attendees being able to bring their own pups, the animal shelter brought Robert, an 8-month-old shepherd mix, who was looking for a family.
