It looks like the city of Sacramento's animal shelter has a bunch of really cute doggos that need loving homes. And are having free adoptions from 24 Jan - 28 Jan.
Here is their twitter information.
Here is the Front Street Animal Shelter's address and additional details. So if you are looking for a companion to lighten your life and live in the local area check this out :).

Edit: Front page! Send me pictures of your doggos!

My county shelter has been doing this almost every weekend. They've been double capacity since the summer. Hope they all find good homes.

Got any with extra dark meat?

If 200$ is what keeps you away from getting a dog.... dont.. please just dont
LetEmEatCake
I sincerely hope this won't cause people to unpromptedly decide to have a dog. They take a lot of your time.

Why would you downvote this?

Hello from Stockton to all my Sacramento Imgurers!
ExtraRains
Ofering animals for free is NEVER a good thing. Any random will come and take them for breeding, fighting or other neglect
ExtraRains
The last time a shelter did this many people adopted dogs them brought them back within a week because they didn't have the money or
ExtraRains
permission to even keep them. Adoption fees help fund the shelter itself with vet and food bills
CaseyRoy442
I'm glad I moved from there. Because I would pull up in a bus.
littlegoblin
DAMN IT
roscuro
It's free, but do you still run background checks on the adopters?
YIKEA
AW YISS HOMETOWN LOVE!!! Love Front Street, have fostered for em!
BegoniaNom
Me too! They are a truly amazing organization.
Rovolloth
Yay free food

“Adopt dogs save lives” sounds like “take these dogs or we’re gonna fucking kill them”
werewolffbarmitzvah
Front Street is a no kill shelter ???? so all these pups stay until they find homes
bananatoast
It's pretty much true. :/
RumpBuffalo
Please please please do not take an animal if you cannot take care of it.
ComcastLover
Where I come from dogs are super expensive. Which is good in a way... I suppose...
rottieandmutt
The problem with “free adoption” days is someone who couldn’t otherwise afford the adoption fee (and therefore future vet care, etc)
Spongybunny
Or people who want a free bait dog now have easy access to them. Hopefully there is still some kind of check process for adoption.
rottieandmutt
Might be tempted to adopt
Hellstorm99
Do like Most of the southern states do, ship them here to Wisconsin, Iowa, Illinois, etc. We spay and neuter our pets to avoid having...
Hellstorm99
... puppies and kittens freezing in winter.

Front street is a fantastic organization. If you are looking for a local charity to give back, this one is my top pick.
Peanutchews
Same!
PastureofMuppets
Then its your duty to get one of those dogs.
hermioneee
Go adopt a dog!
andreisokolov
Me too!
bananatoast
Same! Well, orangevale.
PantsAreTooMuchWork
Hi! I was in Elk Grove (well, Wilton) until I moved 3 years ago. I adopted my first dog from Front Street Shelter actually! Great place.

Did he just hear the word "cheese"?
SlightlyOverripeBanana
She is super photogenic. Even when she derps.
SayWhatYouMeanMeanWhatYouSay
That is one handsome dog! Not seen one quite like that before, what’s the breed?
SlightlyOverripeBanana
She is a hound mix. Mostly American Fox Hound.
Atratvs
TIL you have to pay to adopt a dog.
GrumpyGrumbo
yes, and the adoption fee is the first of many bills, and the smallest amount of money you'll have to pay for the rest of their lives....
GrumpyGrumbo
it's expensive to keep a dog. it's expensive for a rescue to rehab/treat one. It shouldn't be free to get your hands on one.
rdewalt
Having worked for a no kill cat rescue, yes, you do have to pay. Every cat we brought in got a -full- vet exam, neutered and chipped. 1/x
rdewalt
We lost money, even though we charged $120/cat adoption fee. But your cat just got the best medical care he may have ever had.
jacksparrah
ngl I cringe when I think about people only adopting because it's free. If you can't afford an adoption fee, how the hell can you 1/2
Kviti
How much is this fee?
jacksparrah
Depends. Ranges from $50-$200. Bear in mind it covers vaccinations and a spay/neuter, which would cost $400+
jacksparrah
afford the pet? I mean this is a good idea to clear the shelter, but half those dogs will end up right back where they started. 2/2
BegoniaNom
I agree to a certain point, but some animals have added expenses and paying to adopt feels like another kick to the budget
BegoniaNom
I wanted to adopt a senior cat that I loved but was unwilling to pay another $150 for a cat that was going to have massive vet bills already
GrumpyGrumbo
Yeah I actually get irate at the thought of this. The adoption fee pretty much pays their spay/neuter and stay and nothing else. If you...
GrumpyGrumbo
are the type to not want to pay that, you definitely aren't the type to feed quality food or take to a vet at least yearly for shots either.
BegoniaNom
Plus there’s always the concern of dog fighters looking for bait dogs. :(
PeteButtigieg
If youre feeding your dog from a bag/can you’re not feeding your dog quality.
GrumpyGrumbo
There are at least bag/canned options that are grain free and acceptable protein sources. Lots feed their dogs what is essentially just corn
burpwind
Do they vet potential owners? Or just hand them out?
PantsAreTooMuchWork
It says in the post "pending adoption application and counseling". I adopted at Front Street, it took about 2 hours of talking/meeting.
burpwind
Application and "counselling" . So if I'm some scumbag who wants a free bait dog for fighting dogs, I only have to have a chat?
PantsAreTooMuchWork
Have you ever adopted from a shelter before? That's all they do. They don't have the funds or the means to do a home check on everyone.
burpwind
Yep all my dogs are shelter dogs. They charge shit loads for them.
TheIrishman35
I live in Sacramento and would love to get a dog. The only problem is I’m never home so it’s unfair to the animal.
bizzarotime
Thank you for NOT adopting in this case. One day you will have the time!
BegoniaNom
Maybe get a very independent cat?
FatHeadedPanda
Can’t you have the dog with you to work? Not making a rude assumption, but I can and I love having her with me
TheIrishman35
We use to be able to. There were 5 or 6 people that brought their dogs in. I didn’t want to be the person to cause it to stop (1/2)
TheIrishman35
Because there were to many dogs. We just moved to a new building and they made a rule that you can’t bring pets to work (2/2)
FatHeadedPanda
Damn, that sucks
PastureofMuppets
Then get two dogs
PastureofMuppets
They can play w each other when you're out of the house.
BigDaddyJack
If you’re gonna get 2, what’s 2 more at that point. Get 4 to be safe.
