Front Street Animal Shelter

The Front Street Animal Shelter does far more than caring for lost and abandoned animals in our community. The Shelter provides a variety of services that protect both citizens and animals, including:

-Transporting sick or injured stray animals that were picked up by the animal control officers to the emergency vet
-Rescuing animals locked inside hot vehicles and from abusive, cruel, or negligent conditions
-Impounding stray dogs, whether they are friendly or aggressive, that roam freely on the street, on public property, or at a citizen’s residence
-Administering a rabies control program
-Helping citizens resolve nuisance problems, such as dogs barking excessively and dogs defecating or urinating on other people’s property
-Investigating dog and cat bite complaints
-Assisting other agencies such as the County of Sacramento Animal Care and Regulation, the Sacramento SPCA, the police department, the fire department, and the California Highway Patrol
-Educating pet owners on the importance of spaying or neutering their dogs and cats
