Placer County Animal Services Center

I found a beautiful, sweet German Shepherd approximately 1 yo female running across traffic near 1-80 in Colfax today. Luckily I had a dog treat with me and she came right to me and into my car. Gave her some food and water as she was so thin and she was happy in my backseat. The problem was all other shelters were closed and I needed to find a safe happy place for her. Very reluctant to drop her at Placer County Animal Control until I spoke with the animal control officer Gonzalez on 3/25/17 @ 5 pm. He answered my questions and we decided it would be best if I took her to the facility . He was waiting outside for us, was very caring to her and assured me again that they make every effort to find owners - successful in 90% of cases. If not assured me she would find a good home quickly. Animal officer Gonzalez was the best, facility spotless, obviously cares great deal for comfort of animals. Thank you SO much. I know this beautiful dog will have a happy life!

Found it ridiculously difficult to actually meet a kitten. My husband and I trying to be responsible asked to meet and greet a kitten and were told a staff member needed to be present. However, everyone was out to lunch. We asked when we might return when someone would be available.We were told 2:30. Left and came back at 2:30, were told we could go in, waited 30 minutes and recieved no help. Being able to interact one on one with an animal outside it's kennel is an integral part of the adoption process. Its sad to me that there was so little effort and assistance to get theses cats and kittens furever homes.

I have been trying to adopt a dog here for over a week now. The lady who is supposed to contact the foster home to make an appointment told us last Saturday we would be able to meet with the dog on Tuesday. She never gave us a time and told us she would give us a call back on Monday with a time. We called her three times with no answer and even went down to the shelter Tuesday morning to try and talk to her so we can adopt this dog. Still no response from anyone at the shelter. Very frustrated as I am trying to help by adopting a dog and no one there seems to care.

Loved how much they cared about saving the animals life. I always thought something bad about animal control but after having my first encounter with seeing them care about saving an animals life and getting it a good home changed everything. I can't wait to volunteer at the new shelter. Thank you again

It looks like a few old shacks there very outdated, and kind of creepy they're building a new one across the street that looks amazing and very modern so I hope it brings hope to those awesome puppies in need for a new home. I will update my review once the new place is up and running.
