These adoptable animals are posted by Elk Grove residents. View additional adoptable animals at the shelter.

These animals are offered for adoption by their owners for a small rehoming fee that is donated to shelter animals. This program is a courtesy of Elk Grove Animal Services to pet owners who have had to make the difficult decision to rehome their pet.  

Arrange to meet your new best friend:

• Step1: See an animal you’d like to meet and possibly adopt?

  Click their photo for more information.
  Contact the animal’s owner by selecting “Apply to Adopt”.

• Step 2: The current owner will be responsible for contacting you to arrange a meet and greet with the pet.

  Look for the owner to contact you directly or through the Rehome platform.
  
  If current owners do not respond to your inquiry, they might have others to contact, or their pet has already found a home. Please be patient and continue with your search.

• All parties participating in the City of Elk Grove Animal Services Self-Rehoming Program understand that the animal posted has not been evaluated medically or behaviorally by their staff. This program is based strictly off the integrity of those participating in the program. 

• All rehoming arrangements are the responsibility of the current owner. City of Elk Grove Animal Services is not responsible or liable for the rehoming of these pets.  

• If the animal has a microchip, the current owner and/or the new owner are responsible to reregister the pet’s microchip and pay any fees associated with the transfer of ownership if applicable.  

• The current owner requesting rehoming services and those adopting through this program agree to hold harmless the City of Elk Grove Animal Services, the City of Elk Grove Animal Shelter, and their officers, employees, volunteers, agents and associates for any action or omission arising out of the rehoming of the pet.
