Three kittens sit inside of a holding cage, Saturday, June 27, 2020, at the San Marcos Regional Animal Shelter. Animals at the shelter come as friendly strays and rescues or owner-surrender.
While many could not work due to the uncertainty surrounding COVID-19, those who care for the lives of others were still tasked with showing up every day. For the San Marcos Regional Animal Shelter, animals in need of care could not be abandoned.
As a municipal shelter that serves all of Hays County, the establishment intakes rescue, friendly stray and owner-surrender animals. The shelter works to find permanent homes for its animals as well as provide veterinary care.
In this video, Animal Services Manager Jeanne Saadi discusses fundamental changes made at the shelter concerning animal intake, its foster program and adoptions.
