The San Marcos Animal Shelter is a safe house for many lovable animals. The shelter now has 32 dogs, 25 cats, and one special pot-bellied pig named Ransom. Ransom is a-year-old and weighs in at 220 pounds. As of Saturday, he had been at the shelter for two weeks. Those interested in adopting him may be interesting in knowing that he's housebroken and loves dogs and cats. Since Ransom is such a big pig, he's not allowed to live within the city limits.
