Animal Care and Regulation

this is a wonderful place to adopt a forever friend from. the large in/​out dog runs are individual. the cat/​kitten enclosures are fun and friendly. staff and volunteers are very helpful and friendly. the shelter is clean, inviting and fun. i adopted callie the end of november 2015. she is an absolute love. callie had a week wait before she could be spayed. during that time worms were found in her stools and she was treated at no expense to me. i was able to take her to the meet and greet areas (which are very nice) daily while she waited. i also requested a bath before her surgery which was given! apparently she was already spayed so no surgery was performed and a LH test, was done to ensure her ovaries were indeed previously removed. again at no expense to me. i had a heartworm test done which was neg. in the sacramento area this is by far the nicest, warmest and friendliest shelter. i have recommended bradshaw to others looking for a forever friend. callie and i thank all the staff and volunteers. we are both happy!

A friend of mind asked if I was interested in «adopting» one of five kittens. She was a volunteer «foster mom» for pets and I had to go through the Animal Shelter on Bradshaw to facilitate the rest of the paperwork.
The employees here really care about animals. I had to walk through the sad and anxious faces of our fellow furry friends. It was hard for me to go through without wanting to find homes for all of them.
If people would only spay or neuter their pets, a lot of the overpopulation problems would be solved. I checked out their chart in the waiting area. Apparently during the month of April (I’m pretty sure it was April and not March) approximately 527 cats were euthanized.
I am adopting Mimi (see photo) knowing that I have saved one life. She has had all her operations and shots and is microchipped! I pick her up this afternoon and everyone at home is very excited to take home our first cat. (I actually lost sleep over this last night…)
