Friends of Sacramento City Shelter Animals

Animal rescue in Sacramento, CA

We are a small rescue group that rescues from the City of Sacramento Animal Shelter. This shelter is in a large metropolitan area and is a high kill shelter. At the time we formed our group, very little effort was being made to get the animals adopted. It was mainly a holding facility where the animals were euthanized once the legal hold period was over. The facility has improved greatly after a lot of negative publicity and an audit by the American Humane Society. However, the euthanasia rate is still much higher than we would like. We maintain a website to make the animals more visible and rescue as many as we can to give them more time.

We ask that an adoption application be filled out so that we can choose the best possible pet for the client. We also have the adopter fill out a contract when the adoption takes place.

The fee for a dog is $85 to $200 and includes spay/neuter, DHPP and Rabies vaccinations. Most dogs are microchipped.
