With the Fourth of July holiday upcoming, SMRAS reminds pet owners that loud noises caused by fireworks can be frightening for animals. Owners are reminded to bring pets inside and keep them comfortable with bedding and toys, if possible. Additionally, SMRAS suggests closing windows and turning on a radio or television to mask noises. Owners should also ensure pets are wearing a collar and ID tag with updated contact information. The SMRAS offers microchipping services. Visit sanmarcostx.gov/3260/Lost-Found if pets get lost.
The city also said that the shelter’s $30 adoptions special has been extended until further notice, which applied to adoption-ready pets and includes spay/neuter/vet exam, vaccinations, a microchip, and 30 days of free pet health insurance. Specials do not apply to pets being evaluated or receiving/pending treatment, the city said.
