Looking for a furry friend to bring home for the holidays? The San Marcos Regional Animal Shelter has spotlighted two of their lovable residents as Pets of the Week, and they're ready to cozy up in a permanent abode. Bargain hunters take note: adopting a pet now costs you a mere $22, a fee that includes the essential starter pack for a new furry family member: spay or neuter, a thorough vet exam, vaccinations, and a microchip, according to Sanmarcos.
The spotlight shines on Darold, a 5-year-old Cur/Blackmouth mix who's been waiting for over a year to find his forever home. Darold is described as the life of the room with his quiet yet playful personality. Potty and crate trained, Darold also has a few tricks up his sleeve, understanding several commands. After seeking some affection and enjoying a nice sniff around the yard, Darold retreats to his favorite snoozing spot. This well-mannered chap is craving nothing more than a permanent spot on someone's couch, reported by the San Marcos Regional Animal Shelter,
For those who lean towards feline persuasion, Casino, a 2-year-old tortie, is also featured as the Cat of the Week. She balances her dual nature of independence and affection with the grace only a cat could muster. Casino loves her catnip-enhanced naps but won't say no to a cozy cuddle session when her mood strikes. The shelter vouches that she'd be the perfect companion for anyone looking for a chill partner-in-crime.
For interested adopters, visiting times at the shelter are set conveniently from noon to 7 p.m. on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday, and noon to 5 p.m. on Saturdays. To kick off the process, either give them a call at 512.805.2650 or email [email protected]. In the spirit of giving, if adoption is too big a commitment, consider fostering by reaching out to [email protected] or checking the nitty-gritty at www.sanmarcostx.gov/foster. Keep your eyes peeled for more tails by following the shelter on Facebook @SanMarcosAnimalShelter and Instagram @smtxanimalshelter, as per Sanmarcos.
