Meliodas's BIG day out!
Long term resident Meliodas got a much-needed break from the shelter and went on a field trip to Sacramento City Hall — and he even met the Mayor! 🏛️ This sweet, smiley boy has been patiently waiting for someone to give him a chance.
💙He’s currently enjoying foster life, but what he really wants is a forever home. If you're looking for a calm, loving adventure buddy, Meliodas is your guy! Visit our website to schedule a meet & greet with this special boy today. 🐾
We are halfway through our free adoption event! We are offering free dog adoptions through March 29th to make space at our shelter to save lives. Since March 15th we have seen more than 80 dogs go home to their families! Thank you for sharing and spreading the word.
Free dog adoptions
Free dog adoptions through March 29 to make critical space and save lives. We have dogs of every size, energy level, and personality, so you're sure to find the perfect match! Not looking to adopt? You can still make a difference by sharing this with friends, family, and anyone who might be searching for a new companion.
Munchie the poodle was missing for FOUR years, but her journey led her back to Front Street as a stray. Thanks to her up-to-date microchip, we were able to contact her family and share the incredible news.
When they came to pick her up, there wasn’t a dry eye in the room—Munchie is finally home where she belongs. The family was grateful for the finder - a teenager who found Munchie at the light rail station and walked over a mile to drop her off at the shelter.
This is your reminder to microchip your pets and keep your info current…it truly makes miracles happen!
Through our Homeless Outreach and Assistance Program, (H.O.A.P.), we’re bringing essential care such as exams, treatments, spay/neuter services, and more, directly to pets in need.
By meeting unhoused owners where they are, we improve access to care while reducing the number of animals coming into the shelter for treatment. This mobile clinic is a big step toward keeping pets healthy, with their owners, and out of the shelter!

There’s nothing Hayut wants more than freedom…He even learned to beg our staff and volunteers to take him out of his kennel. This 2-year-old husky mix is playful and eager to learn, and has done well with other dogs while with us. He's waiting for you with a wagging tail and and a hopeful heart 💗 Come meet him at the Front Street Animal Shelter.
Marsha
Life at the shelter is ruff, and poor Marsha has been with us SO long. Can we come together to find this amazing dog the life and family she's been dreaming of? Marsha has done well around other dogs and kids, and she loves lounging in the sun, meeting people, fetch and cuddling. At six years old, she's at that perfect age of being active yet mellow.
Dog is over the moon to be reunited with owner
When Jackie needed a hand, our Homeless Outreach and Assistance Program was there to help by finding a foster home for Juicy. Even though Juicy had a great time with her foster family (including a thrilling trip to the snow), she was even more excited to be reunited with Jackie. In 2024 our HOAP team assisted 747 unhoused owners and provided care to 1,325 pets, while facilitating spay/neuter surgeries for 253 of those animals.
Doggie Day Out
Give a shelter dog the time of their life by taking them on an outing! Our Doggie Day Out program is back by popular demand – now you can “check out” a dog for the day for walks, runs, or a date at your favorite pet-friendly restaurant or brewery! Not only is this great for the dogs’ mental health, but it gives us valuable information about their personality, shows them to potential adopters, and is a great photo opportunity to add to their profile.

All our animals have the same New Year’s resolution – to get adopted! Pearl is one of our volunteer’s favorite dogs because she’s so cuddly, playful, and smart. She’ll nudge for pets, army crawl towards squirrels, and run zoomies around you because she thinks you’re that great! She’ll surely keep her future family entertained for years, and is hoping to find that family very soon. We think she’s 3-5 years old, and has done well around most other dogs although a proper introduction at home is always required. We haven't observed yet observed her around cats. She hopes to meet you soon!
Free adoptions – adopters urgently needed! We want this season to be full of joy for pets and people alike, so we’re waiving all adoption fees through December 31st to make the dream of an empty shelter a reality. If you can’t adopt, helping get the word out makes all the difference too.
