The San Marcos Regional Animal Shelter team depends a great deal on support from community rescue partners throughout the state of Texas and beyond. We could not save the lives we do without the dedication of rescue groups, volunteers and fosters.

Moving forward, our collective coalition of approved animal rescue groups will be known as the Central Texas Rescue Alliance! As an Alliance, we are dedicated to sharing resources to help push Hays County toward a sustained 90% live outcome rate!
