Upcoming Dog Adoption Events in Folsom, CA
Adopt a dog at one of our dog adoption events near Placerville
Placerville is a Gold Rush town with a historic Main Street, surrounding apple orchards, and a strong small-town community. People here value the outdoors, and a dog fits naturally into that lifestyle. If you’re ready to adopt, our Folsom adoption events are a pleasant drive down Highway 50, close enough to make meeting a dog worth the trip.
Getting to an adoption event
Plan on about 35 minutes from Placerville to our Folsom event. Take Highway 50 west, passing through Shingle Springs, Cameron Park, and El Dorado Hills before reaching Folsom. The route is scenic and mostly freeway. Petco in Folsom is the closest adoption event for Placerville adopters. Once you find a dog you’d like to meet on our available dogs page, reserve a spot, and you can make a day of it by exploring Folsom afterward.
Dog-friendly Placerville
Placerville is a charming place to explore with a dog. Historic Main Street has shops and cafés, and many have outdoor seating where well-behaved dogs are welcome. Lumsden Park and the local trails offer shady spots for leashed walks, and nearby Gold Bug Park is a favorite for people who like a bit of history on their outings. Keep your dog leashed in town and on trails, and check posted rules at parks before you go.

Location 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!
