Long-Term Shelter Resident Spotlight!

Today we’re shining a little extra love on some of our long-term shelter residents like Pinocchio, Golden Eye, Valley, and Carmella. These amazing dogs have been patiently waiting for their chance at a forever home, and we know their perfect match is out there.

Visit them at Elk Grove Animal Shelter today from 12:00–6:00pm! Come meet your new best friend and help give these deserving pets the fresh start they’ve been waiting for. ✨

A Heartfelt Thank You — Bruno is Home 💛

Bruno has been safely reunited with his foster family, and our hearts are so full. This reunion was only possible because of the incredible compassion and dedication of our volunteers and a fellow City of Elk Grove employee who dropped everything to help. Some even drove 20 miles from the shelter to search for him without hesitation.

As fate would have it, our friends at Lodi Animal Services had just responded to a community call about a loose dog. In the most serendipitous moment, their animal control officer, our volunteers, and Bruno’s foster all arrived in the same place at the same time — leading to the sweetest reunion.

Bruno is safe, loved, and back where he belongs.
Thank you to everyone who shared, searched, cared, and came together for him.
This is what community looks like.

✨ Glow Up Friday! ✨
Sweet Pancake came in covered in fleas, dirt, and ringworm — and now she’s healthy, happy, and glowing after three months of care.

And she’s looking for her furever home! Come meet her this weekend from 12:00pm–6:00pm!

We do talk about Bruno — because he’s a handsome 8-year-old, lab mix who deserves a loving home! 💛

He loves exploring, doing zoomies, and checking in for pets once he’s comfortable.

He’s dog-friendly (even with small pups!), great on leash, and the best office dog — calm, quiet, and never barks at deliveries.

Come meet this good boy and see why everyone’s talking about Bruno! ✨

🎓✨ Ringworm graduates alert ! ✨🎓

Ben, April and Derek have officially completed their ringworm treatment and are now healthy, happy, and ready for adoption!

A huge thank-you to our incredible volunteer who helped keep their spirits high — cleaning, cuddling, and socializing them through isolation — and to our amazing medical team for their expert care every step of the way. 🩺

Because of this team effort, these little survivors are ready to trade their isolation suites for forever homes. Come meet them this week at the shelter!

FOSTER NEEDED: Shy Border Collie

We need your help! This 2-year-old Border Collie has been with us for about two weeks and is completely shut down in the shelter. He’s very shy but enjoys gentle pets and did great meeting another calm dog. 💙

He walks slowly and may have some hip discomfort, so a home without stairs would be ideal. We don’t know if he’s house-trained or good with kids/cats — but we do know he needs out of the shelter.

Can you give him a safe space to decompress?
Send us an email at [email protected] if you can help him out. EGAS will provide all necessary supplies!

Ending by celebrating our small but mighty team.

From bottle-feeding newborn kittens to walking every dog daily, conducting meet-and-greets with potential adopters , gathering behavior notes, assisting volunteers, and working endlessly with our community — your dedication makes all the difference.

You’re there for all the joyful moments — adoptions, milestones, and second chances — but also for the tough and heartbreaking ones. Through it all, your compassion never wavers.

Your hard work, heart, and care never go unnoticed.
Thank you for all that you do! 🐾

Meet our trio of beautiful female garden cats who are ready to bring a little wild charm (and a lot of help!) to your home.

Garden cats make wonderful companions for yards, barns, and homes with outdoor space. They’re independent, low-maintenance, and naturally help keep mice and rodents away — a win-win for everyone! 🐭🚫

Adoption fees are waived for Aract, Astrophe and Erpillar, so now’s the perfect moment to give one of these girls a safe, loving place to call home.

Meet them this weekend at Elk Grove Animal Shelter!

A BIG adoption story for Mr. Big Earl!
This sweet underdog waited months for his turn to go home. His deformed paw never slowed him down — he just needed the right family to see how special he is.

Now “Toby” is living his best life! 🐾 His family says, “He loves morning walks in the dog park, can run and dance for hours, waters all the plants in the neighborhood, and is getting used to baths. It’s our luck to have him.” 💛

Welcome home, Big Earl (aka Toby)!
