Our animal care technicians share which dog they would adopt if they could! You can meet any of these cuties at Front Street Animal Shelter between 12-5 p.m. everyday. 💖
With so many kittens coming in, we are still in great need of fosters! On Wednesday, June 19th at 5:30 p.m. our shelter is hosting its next in-person kitten foster class where you will learn how to provide a temporary home for young cats, including how to bottle feed. You’ll also be able to take home your first fosters that same day! We provide medical care and supplies; you provide space and love. There are only a few spots left! To secure yours, please register here: https://frontstreetshelter.as.me/schedule/50055eb5/?categories=Foster%20Class
Dutch Crunch and Tobbogan are two young mothers who came to the shelter with their litters. Now that their pups have been adopted into loving homes, they’re ready for the next step in their own journeys. Both dogs are super calm and easy to walk, and love lots of pets and treats. They would make loving and loyal additions to any household with room for the ultimate sweethearts.
If you’re looking to add a little adorableness to your life, our shelter has many different puppies available for adoption! Come meet them daily from 12-5 p.m. 💕
Make a difference this Big Day of Giving
Today is your chance to help us save lives. This Big Day of Giving is crucial for our shelter and the 10,000 animals in need that will pass through our doors this year. A donation today will help fund specialty surgeries and medical treatments for shelter animals, provide critical supplies and support for lifesaving programs, and extend beyond our walls to community programs like our free microchip and vaccine clinics, our weekly pet food pantry to feed hungry pets, and our Homeless Outreach and Assistance Program to ensure pets of unhoused residents get the care they need to thrive. You can be the reason an animal receives the care they need https://www.bigdayofgiving.org/organization/FrontStreetFriends.
Party for a cause! Our April 13th Brewfest is just around the corner, and we have 24 regional breweries (and counting!) ready to serve unlimited tastings of beer.

Happy National Puppy Day! If you’re looking to add some puppy love to your life, we have 5 pit bull terriers available for adoption. 💗
As puppies and kittens readily get adopted, older pets watch from their kennels, wondering when it will be their turn. If you’re looking for a cuddler to lounge with or are up for a low-stakes game of fetch, senior pets are a great option! Their years of experience are a gift that makes it easier to know if you're compatible when you meet them. With both grey in their fur and pep still in their step, they are ready to meet you – hoping you will be the one to give them their second chance. The seniors in this video, including Quinn, Nia and Dolly at the shelter and Freckles, Emma and Barnaby in foster, are all looking for retirement homes.
To compete with the younger pups for attention, this friendly senior learned how to say hello! Come say hi to Diamond in her kennel. 👋
The Front Street Brewfest is on April 13th! You can help animals in need while enjoying unlimited tastings from the Sacramento region’s best breweries. There are only a few days left to receive $10 off the festivities by using the code EARLYBIRD at FrontStreetBrewfest.com. Get your tickets today!
Glitter has been waiting at the shelter for someone new to notice her. Though she can be shy at first, she is just a gentle girl who wants as many belly rubs and treats as she can get. At just 2 years old, she has so much love to give! Please consider sharing this video to help us find the perfect home for Glitter.
Last weekend’s windstorm flooded our already packed shelter with lost dogs, so to make space and save lives, dog adoptions will be free now through February 18th. If you can’t adopt, help us spread the word so we can get as many of these great pups into homes as possible. If your dog got out, check shelters as more continue to trickle in over the next couple of weeks.
Her best friend left the shelter, so she’s looking for a new one! Jigglypuff has been at the shelter a long time, but luckily had another dog who she became close with to help share the long days. Now that he went to foster care, she’s been quite sad and hoping for a family even more than before. So if you know someone who would love a sweet, playful dog who is good with other dogs, she’d be perfect for you. Jigglypuff is just 2 years old and ready to meet you at the shelter!
Free adoptions to save lives
CRISIS ON FRONT STREET – We are completely out of kennel space and have nowhere to put new dogs. Adoptions will be free for dogs 6 months and older in an effort to encourage adoptions and save lives. If you know someone who has been thinking about bringing a dog into their family, let them know in case they can help one of our deserving pups!
As 2023 comes to a close, we want to thank one of our amazing volunteers Haley for fostering more than FIFTY animals this year, many with medical conditions requiring extensive care. Check out this amazing compilation of those she has fostered. #teamfrontstreet #fosteranimals #happynewyear
Let’s get every animal a home for Christmas – Free adoptions now through December 23rd! Our shelter is packed with so many wonderful pets who have just one thing on their list this year – a loving family. We are especially full of dogs, any of which would bring so much joy to someone looking for a new companion.
How to find a lost cat
Lost cats behave much differently than lost dogs, and many people don't find their cats because they use the wrong strategies. In this video, we share proven tips that will give owners the very best chance of being reunited with their cat - let's spread it far and wide and get some lost kitties home!
Temporary homes for shelter dogs greatly needed
Front Street needs help – Please share! We’re in tremendous need of volunteers to provide temporary homes to large dogs. This Saturday 11/18 and Sunday 11/19, stop by anytime between 12-3 to learn more, get training and pick out the perfect dog for you! We provide supplies and medical care while you foster – you provide space and love.
We need your help! This week we are raising critical funds to help the thousands of animals who come through our doors each year, many of which are sick and injured. You'll also be supporting incredible programs mentioned in this video, and making a difference for pets and people outside our shelter walls as well. You can make a difference at friendsoffrontstreet.networkforgood.com/projects/202518-help-shelter-and-community-pets-in-need. Thanks so much for your consideration ❤️
