The San Marcos Animal Shelter's Mutt-Strutt Guardian Angel Program allows caring individuals to sponsor a pet.
The Guardian Angel program began in July of 2007. To date, over 50 animals have been adopted as Guardian Angels. People can donate $50, which will go toward the adoption fee of the animal he or she chooses to sponsor. The donor's name will be put on a sign with the sponsored animal.
Guardians can pick the adoptable animal they like and sponsor them, or allow the shelter staff to choose an animal.
This sponsorship is best for pets that have been at the shelter for an extended period, that may have a medical condition or are older. Many San Marcos residents have found wonderful pets to love and care for through this program.
