I had adopted one of my dogs from here years ago and he’s the bestest boy ever. Came back to get a cat and wound up with the sweetest girl of all time. Betty (now biscuit because she’s always making biscuits) is the coolest cat ever. The employees and volunteers here care about the animals and it really shows. Thank y’all so much for bringing some of my closest friends into my life.

These dedicated people do an amazing job with a small space on the property of their public works department in San Marcos. They are kind and caring to the visitors and also to the animals. I would recommend.

I did get my cat here and she’s amazing, but the shelter had little to no knowledge about her before i adopted her. They couldn’t tell me past behaviors or personality, they didn’t tell me that she was PREGNANT, and they said she was 3 years old but there’s no way that she’s older than 1. She is an older kitten at most. This shelter is just okay, not better and not worse.

If the animal is from within the Shelter's jurisdiction, No. If the animal is from outside of the Shelter's jurisdiction, yes. There is paperwork to be filled out and they will need a valid photo ID from the person surrendering.

We have an old dog that needs to be humanely euthanized. We moved here from out of state and don't have a local vet. Does the San Marcos Regional Animal Center do this for a reasonable fee? We don't want her to suffer.

Nicholas Pascone | May 30, 2020

Always hiring.People come and go,keep and eye on the city of San Marco's website at the careers tab on the bottom.Volunteers are a vital part of every shelter.But without full time paid employees it is almost impossible for a regional shelter to do what it does day in and day out.
