Love is in the air at Bradshaw Animal Shelter! With so many dogs and cats looking for true love, the animal shelter is holding a 1-day special Valentine’s Day adoption event on Wednesday, February 14. From 12 pm until 6 pm, adoptions for dogs and cats are only $14.
And, for shelter pets who have been waiting more than 30 days to find that special someone, adoption fees are waived. That’s right: there is no adoption fee to take home pets that have been at the shelter for a month or longer. (After all, you can’t buy love!)

Ready to fall in love? Then head to Bradshaw Animal Shelter, located at 3839 Bradshaw Rd in Sacramento. Included in every adoption is each pet’s spay/neuter surgery, up-to-date vaccinations and monthly preventatives, a microchip, and a 1-year license for Sacramento County residents. Adoptions are processed on a first-come, first-served basis, and you do not need an appointment. For potential adopters with children or an existing dog, the animal shelter invites you to bring the entire family, including those with four legs, for a meet and greet to make sure it’s a good match.
