SACRAMENTO COUNTY, CA (MPG) - Do you want a happy start to your new year? Why not adopt your new best friend or family member from the Bradshaw Animal Shelter? Adoptions are only $50, and the shelter has already had its first adoption of 2021! 

Sacramento County’s Bradshaw Animal Shelter's first adopted animal in 2021 is El Fuego – a 6-year-old orange tabby and domestic shorthair cat. Before arriving at the shelter, El Fuego was found as a stray just before New Year’s Eve and promptly went up for adoption. 

Shortly after El Fuego went up for adoption, he received adoption inquiries through the shelter’s adoption appointment line. He immediately won over the Bastion family by showing off his outgoing, affectionate and loving personality at his first meet-n-greet adoption appointment. El Fuego was adopted and is now enjoying his forever home and new family.

If you are interested in giving a shelter pet a second chance at a new life, the Bradshaw Animal Shelter has a wide variety of animals available to adopt today. The Bastion family may have adopted Sacramento County’s first shelter pet in 2021, but it’s not too late to adopt your new best friend or family member today! 

To schedule your adoption appointment, visit BradshawShelter.net then call the adoption appointment line at 916-875-2287, Tuesday through Sunday, between 9:30 a.m. and 3:30 p.m. Adoption appointments are required before arriving at the shelter. Visitors are also required to practice social distancing and wear face coverings during their visit.
