It's National Animal Shelter and Rescue Appreciation Week!
This week, we want to take a moment to express our heartfelt gratitude to the incredible staff and volunteers who make our mission possible. Your dedication, compassion, and tireless work help create a brighter future for the animals in our care.
Whether you're on the front lines caring for the animals, assisting with adoptions, organizing events or providing much-needed support behind the scenes, each and every one of you plays a crucial role in saving lives and giving animals the second chance they deserve.

We couldn't do what we do without our rescue and transfer partners. Below are a handful of the links to the facilities that have helped the Solano County Animal Care in the last 6 months. Donate, Share and Follow their pages so we can continue to get animals into homes!

Hi there Guinea Gang! I’m looking for some Fosters! Please let me know if you can help as summer approaches!

Today is the Sacramento Big Day of Giving. Please consider donating to us today as we are still at record numbers in foster care with 5-10 requests a day for surrenders. Vet bills for the year so far are already at $3200 with a large amount of mass removals and lymphoma diagnosis. Last night I helped a panicked owner with a suffering piggy pay for euthanasia. Every dollar, every Amazon wish list donation helps me keep doing this for the piggies. Thank you.
