Welcome to the Front Street Animal Shelter
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.
Don't let your pet end up here on July 5th
July 4th celebrations can be terrifying for pets. Fireworks and unexpected activity can cause even the calmest pets to panic and run. With the holiday quickly approaching, now is the time to get prepared:
* Ensure your pet has visible ID tags
* Check that their microchip information is up-to-date
* Refill any anxiety medications prescribed by your vet
We strongly encourage pet owners to bring your pets inside well before nightfall during the holiday period. Use white noise or calming music to keep them happier indoors. A little preparation goes a long way in keeping your pets safe and sound.

Beware of a recent 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 test to reclaim your injured pet, immediately hang up and call your local shelter directly.
