City of Sacramento Animal Care Services
Our Mission
Front Street Animal Shelter is dedicated to the care and well-being of animals in our community. We work every day to provide a safe, compassionate environment for pets in need of their forever homes.
Serving Our Community
As the primary animal care facility for the City of Sacramento, we are committed to serving both our residents and their beloved pets. We address the needs of our local animal population by providing resources, guidance, and a welcoming place for animals awaiting their second chances.
Our Care Model
Our shelter operates through a collaborative effort that combines our facility-based care with a dedicated network of support. Through our active foster program and volunteer initiatives, we ensure that every animal receives personalized attention and socialization. This multifaceted approach allows us to maintain a high standard of care for every pet that comes through our doors.
Finding Your Perfect Companion
Adoption is a joyful journey, and we believe in creating thoughtful, lasting partnerships between pets and their new families. Our team is here to support you throughout the process, ensuring you find a companion that fits your lifestyle and home. Whether you are looking for an energetic dog or a calm cat, we help make the connection that changes lives for the better.
