Adoptions end 30 minutes before closing time. The shelter remains open for the last 30 minutes for viewing only. We accept cash, check, money order, VISA, and Mastercard.
If you would like more information about an animal, we highly recommend visiting the shelter or sending an email to 311@cityofsacramento.org. In order for us to assist you, please indicate the Animal ID of the animal that you are interested in.
While the listing of animals that are available for adoption is updated hourly, we cannot guarantee that any of the adoptable animals would still be available when you inquire in person or by email. Animals are adopted frequently, and some may be in the process of being adopted.
Animals are available on a first-come, first-serve basis. We do NOT (1) take requests to hold or reserve an animal, (2) schedule an appointment to meet with an animal, nor (3) accept deposits.
All adopted animals must be spayed or neutered before they leave the shelter and go home with the adopters. This surgery is scheduled and performed on the next available business day at the shelter by the shelter's veterinarian. The adopter will need to return to the shelter on the day of the surgery between 4:00 pm and 5:00 pm to pick up his or her newly adopted pet.
A large majority of animals come to the shelter with unknown medical histories, and, thus, a check-up with a veterinarian is a necessity. To insure the happy and healthy life of your newly adopted family member, we recommend having your pet examined routinely by a veterinarian.
