SHELTER RE-OPENING UPDATE

SEPTEMBER 7, 2021 -- Due to increasing cases of COVID-19, the City of Sacramento is requiring masks to be worn inside all City facilities by all employees, volunteers, and customers, even if vaccinated. The Front Street Animal Shelter's services will remain modified.

Adoptions will be offered by appointment only in order to create the best experience for both the people and pets visiting our shelter. We are also offering stray drop-off services by appointment (highly recommended to reduce wait time) and as walk-ins.

THE FRONT STREET ANIMAL SHELTER IS NOT A 24-HOUR FACILITY

If you have an animal-related issue and you are within the city limits of Sacramento, contact the City of Sacramento 311 Call Center (24 Hours A Day / 7 Days A Week) by dialing 3 1 1. If you are unable to dial that number, please call 916-808-7387.
