Thank you for supporting Paws to Party 2022! Stay tuned for information about next year’s event!

Join us for a Howl-0-Ween style Paws to Party!

This event will feature live music, food trucks, local vendors, silent auction, raffle prizes, and a costume contest for our human guests—PLUS, new this year, a costume contest featuring adoptable dogs from Front Street!

While we love our pets (and yours!), this is a human-only, 21 and over event.

OUR MISSION

The mission of the Front Street Animal Shelter is to protect, preserve, and enhance the quality of life for both animals and people by strengthening the human-animal bond. Front Street’s companion nonprofit, Friends of Front Street, is committed to improving the lives of all stray, abandoned, and abused animals who come to the Front Street Animal Shelter and support all pets in the region and the people who love them. Together, our work supports animal welfare across the Sacramento region.

YOUR SUPPORT SAVES LIVES!

Why support Front Street?

Your support helps provide quality care for the thousands of animals that enter our shelter each year. Your support helps to provide emergency and advanced veterinary care for sick or injured animals. Your support helps to provide funding for adoption and outreach programs that help shelter pets find their “forever” homes and provides community-based services to our pet-loving community. Your support helps save lives!

2021 BY THE NUMBERS

In 2021, Front Street took in 6,151 dogs and cats. Of those 3,324 animals were adopted, 414 animals were sent to rescues and transfer partners, and 1,221 animals were reunited with their owners! Our Live Release Rate was 91% for dogs and 78% for cats.

Your support will help us continue to save lives and offer support to animals arriving at the shelter and in our community. With our dedicated staff and countless volunteers, you too can help us find loving, forever homes for every adoptable animal and ensure our facilities and operations provide quality care to our community and animals.
