San Marcos Regional Animal Shelter Features Two Delightful Dogs as Pets of the Week with $10 AdoptionsSource: The City of San Marcos, Texas

Looking for a furry friend? The San Marcos Regional Animal Shelter has just introduced two charming canines as their Pets of the Week. For those seeking sophistication in their four-legged companions, Humphrey Bojangles is the pawfect match—a 2-year-old Argentine Dogo mix who's more than just a pretty face; this pup's got manners, the skills for a polite walk, and an adoration for both pool parties and play. According to the shelter, Humphrey's the kind of dog that would make a seamless addition to any living situation, no matter the size restrictions an apartment might pose.

Meanwhile, Shake and Bake is the shelter's sweetheart—a 1-year-old German Shepherd mix with a penchant for speed, a desire to learn, and the energy that could outlast any playdate, he recently rang in his first year with the shelter staff, and they're hoping this Taurus will be romping around in a new home when his next birthday rolls around. "Both pets are available for adoption at the San Marcos Regional Animal Shelter," noted the shelter on their website, where potential pet parents can learn more about these furry candidates.

Adoption fees are looking extra friendly too; if you're ready to take home a new pal, it'll only set you back $10 and if you’re eyeing one of the shelter’s long-term residents, fees are being waived until Friday, May 31. That includes all the essentials: spay/neuter, vet exam, vaccinations, and even a microchip. So if your family's been considering a pet, now's the time to make a move; visit the shelter on weekdays from noon to 7 p.m., or Saturdays from noon to 5 p.m., or check them out online.

For those who can't commit long-term but still want to help, the shelter's looking for foster homes and encourages interested locals to email [email protected] or visit the shelter’s website for more details, to fill out a foster application don't forget to follow their social media for the latest updates and content on Facebook @SanMarcosAnimalShelter and on Instagram @smtxanimalshelter.
