    • Legal Name: Elk Grove Animal Services, City of Elk Grove 9150 Union Park Way, Elk Grove CA 95624
    • Tax ID number: 94-3366854

    • Important! Did you know that you could include the Elk Grove Animal Shelter in your will without incurring the expense of redoing your estate-planning documents? Just include the Elk Grove Shelter as a beneficiary by writing a codicil to your will or doing an amendment to your trust.

    Items on our Amazon Wishlist are always needed, but not as often donated. If you're already shopping online, why not toss an extra item in for a shelter pet? Our Amazon Wishlist

  • Shop our Kitten Wishlist

    During Spring, Summer and sometimes even into Fall we find ourselves drowning in little kittens! We generally see hundreds of kittens every year, many of them needing foster care for several weeks before they can go up for adoption. So we go through quite a bit of supplies, and you can help us restock. Our Kitten Wishlist
