Everyone at the Placer County Animal Services was amazing! They were kind, helpful and professional. We found Betty White and she is a perfect addition to our family. Thank you all!

What a nice shelter. This new building and grounds are really nice, roomy, comfortable for the animals, easy for people to browse, easy signs to guide you around. Every time I've been there I've seen someone walking a dog out and about. Every one is nice and helpful even on the phone. I was going there for weeks hoping a dog would pick me and I knew it might take some time. After all, this is a shelter and not a pet store. Someone has to lose or surrender a pet in order for me to get a new best friend. Luckily I did, and me and my new best friend are doing great. I am making sure he is easily returned to me should he ever get lost as who ever lost him must be heart broken while I'm really happy.

Super friendly staff (reception, kennel attendants and volunteers). We adopted 2 kittens on 2 different visits. The facility is clean, modern and allows lots of room for the animals to move about. The process was easy and we love our newest family members. Thank you!

Thanks! Your review is awaiting moderation.

Placer County Animal Services Center | Sep 1, 2021

Hi there - Thanks for reaching out to us. Yes, we take donations and would gladly take any pet food. We are currently open to the public to look at animals. We have clear signage, plenty of hand sanitizer stations and some limits on the number of visitors but so far, things have gone smoothly and we have generally never exceeded the visitor number. We are open from 10 am - 5 pm Monday to Saturday to look at the animals. Hope to see you soon!

We have a feral stray cat that shows up at our backyard every day. If we catch it is there somewhere we can take it that will Neuter the cat for a fee even if it is feral?

Don't know for sure, but they have a 'barn cat' program that offers for a very modest fee, feral cats that are fixed to people that can offer them a dry place to stay. They may be able to help.

Placer County Animal Services Center | Jul 3, 2022

The Animal Spay & Neuter Clinic in Auburn is a low-cost clinic that you can check. There are also a few options in Sacramento County. You can check out the information here - https://animalcare.saccounty.gov/SpayNeuter/Pages/Low-Cost-Spay-and-Neuter-Services.aspx

Does this company trap feral cats and put them up for adoption?

Janae Hausback | Dec 5, 2021
Placer County Animal Services Center | Jan 4, 2022

Hi there - unfortunately, we do not. We do offer trap rental (deposit only) for community members that are willing to trap cats to be returned altered and vaccinated to their original location. This is a great way to reduce cat populations and discourage unwanted feral cat behavior. This service is free, however we ask that you contact us to discuss appointments and availability at 530-886-5540

can you use more donated blankets, sleeping bags, pillows for the animals?

Debbie Bates | Oct 6, 2021
Placer County Animal Services Center | Oct 6, 2021

Thank you for reaching out about donating. We really appreciate it. We can definitely use blankets, but sleeping bags and pillows are harder for us to use since the dogs sometimes have too much fun playing with them and may eat stuffing or zippers. We are open from 9 - 5 Monday to Saturday for donation drop off. Thank you again!

My son moved and left his German Shephard with me. I'm unable to handle the dog and care for it properly. Can I surrender her to you and have it adopted to someone who can care for her.

Joann S | Sep 1, 2021
April Haines | Sep 1, 2021

You can surrender your animals here for a fee. The workers and volunteers here are compassionate people and will take good care of him while he's here. Have you thought about a German shepard reacue?

Can we surrender an older ailling dog to be euthanized. Cannot afford vet bill. Can no longer keep food down, getting thinner daily, cannot hold bowels in.

Monica Herrera | Sep 1, 2021
Placer County Animal Services Center | Sep 1, 2021

Hi there - In general, we are not able to accept animals for euthanasia except for in very specific situations outlined in our state law. If you have veterinary records documenting an end of life disease or illness, you are welcome to contact us at 530-886-5541 to discuss the situation.

The page is updated every 30 minutes. You may also want to post his information on Craigslist, NextDoor and on the Placer County Lost and Found pets page on Facebook. Can you also send us a discription of Remmy so we can be on the lookout at the shelter? Thank you.

Do u have any puppies?

Alexis Hickey | Sep 2, 2019
April Haines | Sep 2, 2019

Yes there are a couple young ones. Although there was an open house Saturday so you'll need to call or go visit. There are some really wonderful dogs that aren't puppies too.

What can be done about tiring peacocks. Squawking until way after dark and start again at 3am. Destructive to my vehicles and step in its, all over the place. Invasive may I silence?

Robert Kirby | Sep 2, 2019
Ron a | Sep 2, 2019

With a dog, if it barks more than 15 or 20 minutes straight without reason, owner may be cited. Guessing similar rules would apply to all pets. Worth contacting animal control in a situation like what you describe. Besides difficulties with owner, a lot of animals have protected status, so likely best not to take matters into your own hands.

How do I upload a picture of my dogs shot record because he scratched me?

Nicole Winn | Sep 2, 2019
LoveAPitRescue | Sep 2, 2019

If Placer County requested records for shots (which would of been odd for a scratch, they usually only worry about bites or more serious) you should of been provided an email address by the placer county animal officer, probably on a business card.

Looking for a Shih Tzu or Shih Tzu mix.

Cheryl Viani | Sep 2, 2019
Andrea Quinn | Sep 2, 2019

The dogs change quite frequently, it is always worth your while to go in and check them out😊 you never know some little guy may capture your heart and you can take him or her home to a forever home😊😊😊
