Sacramento community, meet Chico! 🐶❤️

Chico was at Front Street Animal Shelter (Sacramento) and was at risk of euthanasia when Howard’s Hound Haven stepped in and pulled him to safety.

Now, your Sacramento
neighbor is fostering Chico for the rescue, giving him a safe and loving place
to stay while he waits for his forever family. This is what fostering and rescue can do—it saves lives.

Chico is now available for adoption, and there are several ways our community can
help:

🐾
Adopt Chico — Give this sweet boy the forever home he was
saved for.

❤️ Support his care — Donations help Howard’s Hound Haven provide food, veterinary care,
and other necessities while Chico is in foster care.

🏡
Support Howard’s Hound Haven — They are a nonprofit rescue helping dogs like
Chico get a second chance.

📣
Share his story — Even if you can’t adopt or donate, sharing may
help Chico reach the person who can.

Chico was given a
second chance. Now let’s help him find his forever home. ❤️

Rescue makes second chances possible. 🐾❤️

Our shelter is beyond critical capacity, and we need community members to foster dogs so we can create lifesaving space and get them out of the stressful shelter environment. 

If you can foster a large dog until they're adopted, you'd be making an incredible difference. Join us at our foster pickup event this Friday, July 24 from 4 – 8 PM and Saturday, July 25 from 9 AM - 4 PM. 

We will have appointment slots available for you to come pick up a dog. We'll ask you a few questions, then match you with a dog we think will be a great fit. 

Some dogs find homes in just a week, while others may stay in foster for a couple of months. Throughout their stay, we provide food, essential supplies, and medical care. 

If you've ever wanted the joy of having a dog without the lifelong commitment, fostering is the perfect opportunity. You'll also help introduce your foster dog to potential adopters and experience the incredibly rewarding moment they head off to their forever home.

I came across a news segment today about Front Street Animal Shelter in Sacramento. After the July 4 fireworks, they’ve taken in a large number of lost dogs that were never reclaimed. As of today, many of them are now available for adoption.

I clipped part of the coverage (this is Part 1) to help spread the word. If you’re local or have been considering adopting or fostering, this might be a good time to check them out.

Hey r/Sacramento 💜

Kitten season is here, and our own Front Street Animal Shelter is expecting over 3,000 kittens this year—many of them orphaned, sick, or too young to survive on their own. These tiny ones urgently need foster homes so they can grow strong enough for adoption.

Front Street is looking for kind, animal-loving people in Sacramento to help with kittens—tiny bottle babies, playful self-feeders, and moms with litters. You don’t need experience to start, just a bit of time and a safe space in your home.

If you’ve never been, please come and visit:

Front Street Animal Shelter
2127 Front Street, Sacramento CA 95818
Open 7 days a week from 12:00 pm – 5:00 pm (except holidays)

When you sign up, the team will walk you through everything you need to know and provide all the supplies and support so you’re never doing it alone. You can choose what type of kittens you’re comfortable with and what fits your schedule.

If you’re even a little curious, the best first step is simply to sign up and learn more—there’s no pressure to take a kitten home right away. You can start the process here:

You provide the time, space, and care; they provide everything else. Even fostering for just a few days or weeks can literally save a life.

If you’re not able to foster right now, you can still help. Learn more or sign up to foster/volunteer and support:

• Foster a cat: https://www.cityofsacramento.gov/community-development/animal-care/foster-care/foster-a-cat
• Donate: https://www.cityofsacramento.gov/community-development/animal-care/donate
• Doggie Day Out: https://www.cityofsacramento.gov/community-development/animal-care/doggie-day-out

Sacramento, if you’ve been looking for a meaningful way to give back locally, this is a beautiful place to start. 🐾

Urgent Message from Front Street Cat Foster Program

If you can help please sign-up and become a new kitten foster. https://www.cityofsacramento.gov/community-development/animal-care/foster-care/foster-a-cat

Hello Wonderful Cat Fosters,

I want to take a moment to recognize the time, care and dedication you continue to give to our kittens. Your efforts truly make this lifesaving work possible, thank you so much!

As of today, Wednesday April 29th, we currently have 277 kittens in foster homes!

Here is a quick update on our current foster capacity:

• ONLY 1 foster home is available to take incoming bottle babies (age 1 day – 4 weeks)
  • Bottle babies are our most vulnerable age group, they require feeding every few hours during the day but they can go longer at night!
• 20 foster homes ready for weaning kittens (4 – 6 weeks old)
•  15 foster homes ready for feeder/grower’s kittens (6–8 weeks old )

We are urgently seeking more bottle baby fosters. We receive litters of neonatal kittens daily. These kittens are too young to stay at the shelter overnight and require same day foster placement.  We are actively transferring kittens to our rescue partners in the absence of available foster homes, however, as the season continues rescue availability also becomes scares as their available foster homes are filled.

If you have ever thought about fostering bottle babies, this is your call to action! When you start your bottle baby journey, you will be paired with an experience mentor to guide you every step of the way. Your first litter of bottle babies may seem intimidating, but after just a week or two they will sleeping longer, growing stronger, and quickly move into the weaning stage.

Thank you again for your dedication and support, it means everything to these kittens and to all of us at Front Street Animal Shelter!
