Adopt a dog at one of our dog adoption events near East Sacramento

East Sacramento, locally called “East Sac,” is known for its tree-lined streets, historic homes, and a neighborhood feel where people really do stop to chat on the sidewalk. Dogs are part of that scene, whether they’re trotting along beside their owners in the morning or lounging on a front porch in the afternoon. If you live here and have room in your home for a rescue, our events are close enough to make meeting your match easy.

Getting to an adoption event

Picture this: you grab your keys, head out of East Sac, and in about 10 to 12 minutes you’re at our Sacramento adoption event at Petco. That’s the whole trip. After you pick a dog from our available dogs page and reserve your spot, all that’s left is the short drive over to say hello.

Dog-friendly East Sacramento

McKinley Park is the heart of the neighborhood, with a rose garden, shady paths, and an area where dogs can burn off energy. Sutter’s Landing Regional Park, just to the north, has an off-leash area and river-adjacent trails, so there’s plenty of room to run. Posted rules differ from park to park, so keep a leash handy.

Adoption Event Manager

After raising five kids—including four feral boys—I know a thing or two about running with the pack. And as they all know, I’m a total sucker for dogs—especially the old-timers nobody else wants! While others chase puppies, I roll out the red carpet for the grumpy, grey-muzzled sweethearts. There’s nothing better than spoiling these senior pups with belly rubs, treats, and a cozy home for their golden years.

Lucky for me, I work for an organization that loves dogs as much as I do—because if they didn’t, trust me, I wouldn’t be here!

I’ve been loving and caring for all types of animals my whole life! After trying many different paths, I found my calling as a dog trainer. In doing so, I’ve helped many families grow closer together as they have fun while also learning. I have my senior Chihuahua mutts at home that are my entire world.
