NorCal Cocker Rescue
Finley
Finley has joined the NorCal Family as our newest "cocker wanna be". He is a young, small, rambunctious, high energy boy, that still acts like a new puppy. He still has that mouthy play-with-me-give-me-100%-attention personality. He does like other dogs and loves to play, but plays a little rough. He may feel better as an only fur baby. Finley is a healthy, happy guy that deserves a family that will be patient and loving with him. He loves to cuddle and give you kisses, loves taking walks and is great in the car. Finley loves his toys and will need plenty of them and chew toys to keep him occupied.
CeCe
In these unpredictable, stressful times what everyone needs to put a big smile on their face is this precious, loving, sweet, affectionate little girl. That grey muzzle is only their to remind you that she will love you each and every day. CeCe is 12 years young, She could not be the more perfect companion to sit on your lap, roll over for belly rubs, go for car rides and take short walks any where you want to go. She gets along well with other dogs and although a little bit shy to warm up, easily will become your best friend. CeCe is deaf and has some arthritis in her back legs, but don't let that concern you, she navigates her world to perfection. Look at that face, how can you resist this sweet girl.
NorCal Cocker Rescue Shop
Check out our new on-line store. Our fabulous volunteers have been busily hand making everything from blankets, to beds, to goodies galore for your home. Many different breeds are represented with even a few kitty items. :) Items are added regularly so check it out often. These items make great birthday and holiday gifts too!
Front Street Animal Shelter
The Front Street Animal Shelter takes in over
10,000 animals each year, many of them homeless, sick, and injured. Our
shelter, like countless others, had to suspend many of our services during
COVID-19, including adoptions and volunteering, which put our shelter at risk
of overcrowding. Thanks to our supportive community, we've sent hundreds of
animals into foster care to keep them out of the shelter, and nearly half of
those foster families end up keeping their pets. Now that appointment-only
adoptions have resumed, the rest are quickly finding homes.

Nancy, a husky with two broken legs, has been treated and is recovering in foster care. Her foster dad plans to adopt her.

It's kitten season, and we have hundreds in foster homes needing food, supplies, vaccines and other medical care.
Donate
There are two big ways people can help - by making a monetary donation so we can continue providing
care to the many animals that need it, and fostering to get pets out of the shelter.

Happy Tails Pet Sanctuary
Sacramento's Volunteer, No-Kill, Cage-Free Pet Sanctuary
Happy Tails has continued to rescue cats /dogs during the COVID-19 pandemic. We adjusted our procedures to ensure compliance with the local heath order and have been successful in proceeding safely. Although our facility is closed to the public, we have critical staff present around the clock to care for all cats in our facility. All dogs continue to be cared for in volunteer foster homes just as before COVID-19. So far in 2020 we have taken in and adopted our 48 dogs.
COVID struck in middle of kitten season and luckily community members stepped and assisted by fostering. Which made it possible to save and additional 179 kittens and 87 cats since January. To date Happy Tails has adopted 141 kittens and 129 cats, we could not do it without community support and donations.
