Welcome to the Front Street Animal Shelter

About

The Front Street Animal Shelter serves the City of Sacramento to shelter lost and stray animals while enforcing local and state animal welfare laws. Our diverse range of adoption, volunteer, and public outreach programs reflect our commitment to improving animal welfare throughout our community.

Dog Adoption Special

The adoption fee for all dogs will be waived starting on Saturday, October 18 and lasting through Friday, October 31.

 

Our kennels are full, and we urgently need your help. Every day, more dogs arrive at the our shelter than we can house. These are loving, hopeful animals who deserve a second chance.

 

When you adopt, you're not just changing one life. You're saving two: the dog you bring home and the next dog who gets a spot because of you.
