Friends of Sacramento City Shelter Animals

We are a small rescue group that rescues from the City of Sacramento Animal Shelter. This shelter is in a large metropolitan area and is a high kill shelter. At the time we formed our group, very little effort was being made to get the animals adopted. It was mainly a holding facility where the animals were euthanized once the legal hold period was over. The facility has improved greatly after a lot of negative publicity and an audit by the American Humane Society. However, the euthanasia rate is still much higher than we would like. We maintain a website to make the animals more visible and rescue as many as we can to give them more time.
