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

Across the Sacramento River from downtown, West Sacramento has grown into a lively riverfront city with new neighborhoods, established communities, and plenty of open space. Its mix of walkable areas and family-friendly streets makes it a great place for dog lovers. If you’ve been scrolling through rescue dogs and wondering where to meet one in person, we’re closer than you might think.

Getting to an adoption event

Hop across the Tower Bridge or I-80, and the drive from West Sacramento to our Sacramento adoption event at Petco takes about 15 to 20 minutes, depending on traffic. It’s a simple cross-river trip. When you’ve found a dog on our available dogs page, reserve a time slot, and we’ll have them ready to meet you.

Dog-friendly West Sacramento

The riverfront trails are a highlight, with scenic paths that are great for leashed walks and views of the water. Neighborhood parks around the city add more room for play. Because park rules can differ, it’s best to check posted leash policies.

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.
