My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Hershel is a 76 lbs lap dog who loves having something to keep his mind busy! Hershel is a favorite to go out with some of our volunteers to work on his tricks and other training. Hershel knows sit and will come when called - he's eager to keep adding new tricks to his growing repertoire. He enjoys playing tug of war and going on walks, exploring new sights, smells, and sounds. Hershel has been introduced to other dogs at the shelter and seems to lack some understanding of dog body language. He may do well as the only animal in the home while he develops the skills to learn to play with other pups.

Additional adoption info

We encourage everyone interested in adopting a new pet to come visit the San Marcos Regional Animal Shelter to view the wonderful selection of cats, dogs and small animals we have available for adoption. When you see an animal you are interested in, come in as soon as possible as we are first come, first serve and are unable to place HOLDS on pets over the phone.

Speak to an Adoption Counselor at our Adoption Center regarding your interest to adopt and they will advise you of the Hold and Adoption process. All pets adopted from our facility are microchipped, spayed or neutered and vaccinated for Rabies prior to being released to the adopter. This is required by Texas State Law for any animal adopted from an animal shelter or rescue group. We do allow out of area adoptions as long as the selected pet is old enough to receive these services prior to being released to the adopter.
