Calls for turning the San Marcos Regional Animal Shelter into a no-kill facility has now received the support of Hays County leaders.
Last week, Hays County Commissioners approved support for the no-kill goal at the shelter and will form a commission to ensure the initiative is reached.
Multiple Hays County municipalities, including Buda, Kyle and Wimberley, have passed resolutions in support of a no-kill status for the regional shelter, which would guarantee at least a 90 percent live-outcome for the animals. The shelter currently serves all of Hays County with money coming from the city of San Marcos and participating municipalities. With the large number of animals coming in throughout the county, the shelter has to resort to euthanizing animals at times, and is often full.
