AnimalSavers cares for the medical needs of homeless animals. Our main goals are to treat the disease of overpopulation, which kills more dogs and cats than any known illness, and find ideal homes for the abandoned and neglected animals of Sacramento County.
- We trap, alter, and release feral (wild) cats and tame or resocialize them whenever possible.
- We offer free spay/neuter and shots for feral felines and low-income caregivers' cats.
- We rescue lost, abandoned, and mistreated dogs and cats from the local streets, schools and parks and from Sacramento's high-kill public shelters and place them in permanent, loving homes.
- We educate the community on the intrinsic value of all animals, whether owned or unowned, and advocate for no-kill shelters throughout the country.
Activist Alert:
Please sign
our petition supporting AB 1634, the California Spay/Neuter Bill. Mass slaughter is no way for a civilized society to curb an overpopulation problem. We, Californians, must do all we can to pass this groundbreaking bill to humanely curtail the negligent overbreeding of mixed breed dogs and cats.
April's High Paws Go to:
Assembly Member Lloyd Levine of Van Nuys
,
,who is carrying the California Healthy Pets Act, AB 1634. Passing this bill will save more dogs and cats than all of us rescuers could in a hundred lifetimes. Please send your critical letters of support to him at:

Medical Emergencies
Puppies Have Life Threatening Illness, Parvo
Our beautiful lab mix puppies, rescued from the Stanislaus County Animal Shelter, contracted Parvo there. Although they received their first vaccination to prevent this dreaded disease, they were exposed at the shelter before they were old enough for their booster shots. One puppy has died. It will cost $1200.00 for medication to save the rest. Can you please help these precious, innocent creatures? If so, please email us at animalsaverscal@gmail.com. And thanks in advance for being an AnimalSaver.
Finding a New Home for a Pet:
If you would like our help in finding a new home for your rescued friend or absolutely must re-home your own furry or feathered companion, we can
list your animal for adoption on our website. We will screen the applicants for you to find the best possible homes. The fee is either:
- $25.00 per animal and you receive the adoption fee, usually $85.00 for a cat and $100.00 - $150.00 for a dog. (All animals must be spayed and neutered.)
- $40.00 refundable deposit per animal and we keep the adoption fee when we place the animal in an ideal, permanent home. (Adoption deposits are returned after the trial period.)
To use this service, contact us first at animalsaverscal@gmail.com or call us at 916-992-9970 for further details.

"How to Find Homes for Homeless Pets" (www.bestfriends.org) (You'll need Adobe Acrobat in order to read and print this invaluable, 12 page booklet. Acrobat is available free at the Adobe site for Windows, Mac, and other platforms.)
The great majority of animals in shelters do not make it out alive. All rescue groups are overwhelmed with many more calls and requests for help than they have volunteers, space and foster homes to handle. If you have found a stray or you know someone who is considering turning a pet over to the local shelter, this is the perfect do-it-yourself how-to-rescue booklet downloadable at no cost from Best Friends Animal Sancutary's website. You are probably the only shield that animal has between life and death. Please be an "animalsaver," and do the right thing.
Purchases that Benefit AnimalSavers
Veterinary insurance is a great way to help handle rising medical costs and expensive bills. We think ShelterCare Pet Insurance is by far the best, with its low deductibles, clear coverage limits, and high reimbursement rates for any and all vets you select (even specialists.) Additionally, when you purchase it through the link on the left, ShelterCare will donate $10.00 to us for pet food.
