Upcoming Dog Adoption Events in Sacramento, CA
Adopt a dog at one of our dog adoption events near Elk Grove
Elk Grove is a large, family-oriented city south of Sacramento with spacious homes, active parks, and a strong sense of community. Its mix of new neighborhoods and older farmland-style streets makes it an appealing place for dogs of all sizes and energy levels. If you’re in Elk Grove and thinking about adopting, our Sacramento events bring great dogs within reach.
Getting to an adoption event
The trip from Elk Grove to our Sacramento adoption event at Petco usually takes about 30 minutes, mostly straight up Highway 99 and then Business 80 or surface streets. It’s a doable drive for a weekend morning, though it’s smart to allow extra time at rush hour. Pick a dog from our available dogs page, reserve your meet-and-greet, and make a short outing of it.
Dog-friendly Elk Grove
Elk Grove Regional Park offers shaded walking paths and open lawns, and trails along Laguna Creek give dogs more room to roam. Many neighborhoods have their own parks too. Be sure to check posted rules for leashes and dog areas.

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!
Dog Trainer
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.
