Pet of the Week- Jumping Jack Frost

Pet of the Week- Jumping Jack Frost

What a perfect name for a happy boy!


This four-year-old Labrador Retriever mix is outgoing, people friendly and a lover of treats. "Jumping Jack" also has a super soft, fluffy coat of fur making him even more lovable! When you first meet him, he might seem a little hyper, but once you get him outside to burn off some energy he will be your best friend. (Older kids OK; No cats please!)

 

Don't miss our Home for the Holidays promotion going on NOW through December 30! All animal adoption fees are 75% off which means fur- balls like Jumping Jack are just $25! Includes spay/neuter, vaccines, microchip and license.

Give A Holiday Gift: Open Your Heart to a Pug

Give A Holiday Gift: Open Your Heart to a Pug

SACRAMENTO,CA--With the holidays comes an incredible need, one that is not seen by most, but when discovered hard to ignore.

Cuddly, warm- hearted, peppy Pugs of all ages are left homeless in a season when animals are not top priority.

Some are abandoned, others surrendered only to be left at a shelter or area pound where their lives are often cut short due to overcrowding.  

Pug Rescue of Sacramento is a non-profit organization dedicated to making sure that doesn’t happen. PRO’s is comprised of Bay Area and Sacramento volunteers prepared to mobilize when needed, but during the winter months their numbers are few. That’s why PRO’s is asking for the community’s help to lend a hand and save a warm-hearted, loyal Pug in need of a loving home.

New Solar Kiosk

New Solar Kiosk

Whether it’s conserving habitat for animals or helping to conserve energy, the Zoo is a great place for people to learn about the importance of conservation. As a result of some available Federal grant funding through the Solar America Cities program, the City of Sacramento helped fund a new informational display and photo opportunity area at the Zoo.  Visitors can now learn about how the Zoo is harnessing the sun to generate enough solar energy to power the average home for a day. And, families can take a photo with a life-sized giraffe and other animals... Read More
