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.

Name: Romeo
Breed: Siberian Husky/ Malamute cross
Sex: male
Description: This boy is an owner surrender, "can't take care of him anymore." They say he lived in a large household, and is good with other dogs. He is a huge boy, malamute sized, with beautiful blue eyes. Though 8 years old, Romeo moves like a young dog, and is strong, muscular, and pulls on leash--would be best in a teenage or adult household, due to size and strength. He is responsive to people, and he likes to be petted. He will lean up against you and curl his body for petting, and look up at you and smile. He has a beautiful, cared- for thick coat. His ears have had hematomas, and so do not stand right. He is being medicated for infection in the ears now. With his beautiful coat and eyes, and well as sweet face and personality, he touches your heart. He has high prey drive, typical for nordic breeds...so, No cats or small dogs!
