Shelter
Dogs Currently Available for Adoption |
 |
|
| The dogs
listed below are currently available for adoption.
If you are interested
in adopting one of these dogs, please visit the shelter in
person. There is nothing like 15 to 30 minutes spent with
one of the dogs to help you get to know that dog, and you
can ask volunteer and staff people about the dog.
If you are from out
of the area, call the shelter at (916)
808-7387 and give the
staff person the animal number from the website along with
the description/breed of the dog. The staff person can look
up the number and let you know if the dog is still in the
shelter, before you make the drive to visit. Sometimes it
is difficult to get through on the shelter's lines, and staff
availability to answer questions is very limited, so a visit
is more productive.
NOTE: Since we do not
conduct formal temperament screening, we do not warrant the temperament
of any of the animals listed on this site. However, all animals
are held out by the Sacramento City Dog Shelter as available for adoption
to the public.
** The "web date" represents, generally speaking, the date 7 calendar days after the dog has
become available to the public to adopt. That 7 day period is the minimum time the shelter
agrees to hold the dog for adoption, IN ADDITION to the legal holding period. The agreement
to hold the dog is not "guaranteed" though, because: 1), a dog can get critically ill and
have to be taken out of adoption; 2), a dog can manifest aggressive behavior towards other
dogs or people (and had not done so earlier), and therefore become not available to adopt; 3),
an owner may come to find and redeem the dog, before the legal hold period is up, or any time
thereafter. Finally, the City must take space limitations into consideration. If you are
interested in one of these pets, please do not delay.
