Lost pet owners: Be aware of phone scams

Local lost & injured pet phone scam

 

If you receive an urgent call from anyone claiming to be staff from a Sacramento-area animal shelter (even if it looks legitimate on your caller ID) and they are demanding you pay them money over the phone or via text to treat or reclaim your injured pet, immediately hang up and call your local shelter directly.

Give a dog a day out of the shelter! It's a chance for them to experience joy and freedom. And you'll love it just as much as they will!

 

This is a wonderful opportunity in the life of a shelter dog by giving the dog a break from the usual environment. You can take a dog for a walk on a local trail, grab a pup cup, visit dog-friendly breweries, relax at a park, or have an overnight stay in your home.
