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.
Do you need to complete community service hours for your middle school or high school and you do not need a mentor? This option is best for students from multiple grades who do not have a deadline for mentor approval and do not need mentor meeting checkpoints for a special project.
