Central Texas Rescue Alliance
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.
To Become an Approved Rescue Alliance Partner:
Please see the application here, and submit the required documentation via email to rescues@sanmarcostx.gov and someone will be in touch with you. Please allow 3-5 business days for a response. For urgent matters call the animal shelter directly at 512.805.2650 during business hours.
