As the second largest city in Sacramento County, Elk Grove boasts a thriving community of pet owners and animal lovers. And wherever there are animal lovers you can also find plenty of hardworking animal rescue groups who give their all to ensure that every dog in the area gets the chance to live a happy, healthy, and fulfilling life.
Sacremento SPCA is the best-known animal welfare group in the region. Since 1894, the good people at Sacramento SPCA have been providing critical care and support to pets in need. As an open-admission animal shelter, the organization opens its doors to all pets regardless of their breed, age, behavior, or health. It provides essential medical care and a comprehensive adoption program, and also offers several support and education services to help reduce pet overpopulation.
Kritter Kamp Rescue, which is based in Elk Grove, is a non-profit group that rescues homeless and abandoned animals. From puppies to golden oldies, pets of all ages are accepted, and Kritter Kamp Rescue has been helping at-risk pets for over nine years! It also runs a state-of-the-art boarding facility for vacationing pets, so your pooch can enjoy a comfortable paw-liday away from home.

After the walk, you and your canine companion can explore the Bark in the Park Festival, which features doggy demonstrations and contests, food and drink, and scores of vendor stalls. To top it off, this pet-acular day of fun helps Sacramento SPCA care for more than 7,000 animals each year.
#4 Sacramento SPCA Pup Crawl
What could possibly be more enjoyable than a pub crawl with your dog by your side? Well, how about if that pub crawl took in some of Sacramento’s best breweries? Even better, what if the whole thing raised money for a good cause like the Sacramento SPCA? Sacramento SPCA’s annual Pup Crawl takes place in early December and sees animal lovers and their furry friends a chance to enjoy this new paw-liday tradition. There are discounted drinks, Santa photos for your pet, and a range of dog-friendly activities throughout the day to keep those tails wagging.

With you and your pet dressed in your best costumes, head along to the haunted (for one night a year only) hotel and enjoy a costume contest, beer and wine, local vendors, and of course, trick-or-treating. This is one howl-iday event you and your pet will never forget!
