Meet Marsha- El Paso Animal Services’ Pet of the Week

We're teaming up with El Paso Animal Services to highlight some of the amazing dogs that they have available for adoption right now. El Paso Animal Services is working hard to try and make El Paso a "no-kill" community and to achieve this goal, they need more families to open their hearts and homes to homeless animals at the shelter.

Every week, we're going to highlight a different dog, cat, or other types of animal currently at Animal Services who is in need of a forever home, and let you know a little more about our furry friend. We'll include their age, sex, which their personality is like, and why they would be the perfect addition to your family. You can use their Animal ID number to then contact Animal Services to find out more information on how you can adopt.

At the bottom of this article, you'll find a gallery of more animals that are currently at El Paso Animal Services and in need of adoption.

This week's Animal of the Week is Marsha. If you're a people person, you're in luck because so is Marsha! As soon as she sees you coming, she’s running up to greet you with a slobbery kiss. Marsha loves to play and doesn’t let her short legs stop her from running all over the park, playing fetch or tug-of-war with her favorite stuffed toy. She’s fearless and doesn’t mind doing a little ‘Ninja Warrior’ on the play yard slides and stairs. Marsha loves activity and will surely help keep you fit—no quarantine-15 with her around!

For more information on Marsha, reach out to the El Paso Animal Services adoption team at (915) 212-8705 or EPASadoptions@elpasotexas.gov and use reference number (A45001206).
