Dog Adoption Special During Month of January on Older Dogs

Home Posted on January 21, 2026

The Nevada County Animal Shelter, in partnership with Sammie’s Friends, is hosting an adoption special throughout January. All dogs age 5 and older can be adopted for $5, reduced from the standard $100 fee. 

A dog’s best years start now! Older dogs still have plenty of love to give — from playful energy to quiet companionship. Give a loveable older dog a second chance at a forever home. View available dogs on Sammie's Friends website.

To meet a dog, call 530-471-5041 to schedule a meet-and-greet or fill out the adoption questionnaire to get the process started. 

Kennel drop-in hours are Wednesday through Saturday, noon to 4 p.m. Appointments are preferred. 

Microchip, rabies vaccination, and county license, when applicable, are not included.
