✨ Adoption Update! ✨

Love is in the air at their forever home! 🐾 After fostering (to adopt) sweet Birdie (A865727) for a few months, her humans realized she needed a partner-in-crime to keep up with her playful energy. That’s when Private (formerly Piper - A869097) strutted into their lives—and into Birdie’s heart! 💕

In just a few days, these two silly snugglebugs became the purrfect pair: wrestling all night, snuggling all day, and filling their home with nonstop joy and purrs. 😻

We’re so thrilled to see Birdie and Private thriving together! Huge thanks to their adopters for sharing these adorable photos and giving these walking purr-boxes the love they deserve. 🏡💖If their story has warmed your heart, imagine the joy you could bring to the hundreds of shelter animals still waiting for homes of their own. 🐕🐈 Head to 3839 Bradshaw Rd Tuesday-Sunday to meet your future best friend and start your own adoption journey today!

🐾 Meet Thundarr B.! 🐾

Thundarr B. is a 1-year-old Siberian Husky who’s been with us since February, waiting patiently for his forever family! This resilient and playful guy is full of energy and loves to frolic, fetch, and splash in kiddie pools! 🌊 With his leash skills improving every day, he’s ready to be a loyal hiking buddy and all-around adventure pal.

✨ Volunteer Field Trip Review: Thundarr B. was a star passenger—calm, curious, and enjoyed a quiet nap on the way back. He's shown to be a low-to-medium energy companion and would thrive in an active household, especially one with dog-savvy teens or adults who can continue helping him with his training.

🐕 Thundarr has also joined playgroups and might enjoy a high-energy dog buddy! Interested in seeing if Thundarr B. is the perfect match for your family? Bring your pup for a meet-and-greet at 3839 Bradshaw Rd. His adoption fee is waived, so don't wait—give this sweet, loyal boy the loving home he’s been dreaming of!

Meerkat is potty trained and already knows how to "sit," making her a quick learner and the perfect addition to any family. She loves going for walks, exploring new places, and discovering the world around her. While she may be a little curious about the local wildlife, her playful antics are just part of her adventurous charm.

This sweet girl is also great with other dogs and has been a great buddy to her kennel-mate, Kudu. If you’re looking for a furry friend who will fill your days with endless fun and affection, Meerkat is the girl for you!

We are in need of cat beds and fleece fabric donations! Fleece cat beds like the one in this photo help our shelter kitties stay warm and comfortable during their stay with us.

Whether you're crafty or not, here's how to help! ⤵️

✅ I'm crafty and I want to help!
Yay! Fleece beds are simply made with 3 pieces of 18” x 18” fleece sewn together, and you can find sewing instructions here: animalcare.saccounty.gov/Documents/CatBeds.pdf

❌ I'm not crafty or don't have time to sew, but I want to help!
No problem! You can still help by donating fleece fabric to our shelter. Solid colors are less expensive than patterns. You do not need to cut the fabric yourself (unless you want to): you can purchase bolts or longer lengths of fabric and our volunteers will cut and sew the cat beds. Examples of fleece fabric can be found here: joann.com/fabric/fleece-fabric

❓️ What about other types of beds?
We're really looking for fleece beds (without stuffing) like the one in the photo and described in this post! This particular type of bed is durable, easy for us to clean, and the specific dimensions allow us to use them in a variety of cat habitats and enclosures.

📫️ Donations can be dropped off at any time to our shelter, which is located at 3839 Bradshaw Rd in Sacramento. You can leave donations outside of our animal admissions door (to the left of our main shelter doors).

Thank you! ❤️

Meet Kudu (A869158), the gentle, sweet-natured 2-year-old Pit Bull mix with a heart as big as his adorable squishy face! 💙 This lovable boy is a total joy to walk – he takes his time sniffing every corner of the neighborhood, enjoying the sights and sounds of the world around him. 🐾 Whether it's a leisurely stroll or simply hanging out, Kudu is always ready for some companionship and affection.

Kudu is a treat-motivated, eager-to-please pup who already knows how to "sit" and is ready to show off his good manners with a little positive reinforcement. He’s a friendly, approachable guy and loves greeting visitors, always first in line to get out and explore.

While Kudu has shared space with his best pal Meerkat, he seems to prefer his own space with other dogs. He’s a bit choosy about his canine friends, but with slow introductions, Kudu could find a buddy in a calm, low-key dog. He’s definitely the type to take things at his own pace, making him a great companion for someone who can give him the time and space to adjust.

If you're looking for a loyal and loving companion who enjoys the simple pleasures of life and is always ready to show his affection, Kudu is the boy for you. With his adoption fee waived, come meet Kudu today and let him show you how wonderful life can be with a sweet, mellow dog by your side. 🐶💙

Bram is a young, sweet German Shepherd with so much love to give. Shelter life has been tough on him, but take him outside, and his true, tender spirit shines. Though a bit nervous at first, with patience and kindness, he reveals his affectionate side and will thrive in a caring home.

Remember the 3-3-3 Rule: it may take 3 days for Bram to decompress, 3 weeks to settle in, and 3 months to fully feel at home. With time and love, Bram will be the loyal companion you’re looking for. 🐾💛

Bonded Kitten Brothers Percy & Neville Need a Forever Home

Attention Wizards and Muggles‼️🪄✨ Neville and Percy are a bonded pair of kitten brothers who are looking for a home together! They are outgoing, social, very spunky and have been sorted into Gryffindor. We do believe Percy is deaf so these kitites will need to be indoor only. Neville's animal ID is A856848 and Percy's animal ID is A856851. Their adoption fee is $75 and you can meet them at 3839 Bradshaw Rd in Sacramento!

KITTEN FOSTERS NEEDED STAT‼️ Due to kitten season, we are beginning to run out of space at the shelter for the increase in orphaned kittens and mama cats we are getting in daily. We need the help of the community to get these little ones into homes ASAP! Please consider fostering a litter and mama cat or a pair of kittens, if possible. We promise you won’t regret seeing these adorable faces every day for a few weeks! 😻 Foster Info & Application: https://animalcare.saccounty.gov/HelptheAnimals/Pages/Fostering.aspx Email a filled out application to [email protected] if you can help us out or drop off your application at 3839 Bradshaw Rd 12pm-5pm.

Cat Fosters Needed‼️🐈 We are looking for foster care providers for several feral mama cats and their litters. Interested fosters should fill out an application and send it to [email protected]. If you have experience with feral cats, please note that in your email so we can get these families into homes as quickly as possible. However, experience is not necessary and our foster team will provide you with supplies and resources to care for these mamas and littles. For an application and to learn more about how fostering saves lives, visit https://animalcare.saccounty.gov/HelptheAnimals/Pages/Fostering.aspx.

Kitten Fosters Needed ‼️ Another way to give big on Big Day of Giving is to give an animal a temporary home, also known as fostering! There are dozens of kittens who will need somewhere safe and warm to spend the next few weeks before they are ready for adoption! If you can help, please email our foster team at [email protected]. ❤️ And if you can’t foster, your donation will go towards care and supplies for the animals who need it most!

Lilly, animal ID A854099, is available for adoption at Bradshaw Animal Shelter, located at 3839 Bradshaw Rd in Sacramento, CA. She is approximately 7 months old. Lilly would thrive in a home with a confident and friendly dog role model to help show her the ropes! Because she can initially be shy, she may do best in a home without young children. We have not observed her around cats.
