About this Dog
Meet Esme! Certified Goofball in TrainingEsme is a delightful mix of mischief, brains, and pure puppy joy. At just 10 months old, she’s still figuring out the world — and by “figuring out,” we mean “trying to sneak around your back to steal treats like a snack ninja.”This water-loving girl would happily trade in her dog bed for a kiddie pool and thinks splashing is the peak of fun. She’s an independent entertainer who can amuse herself (and you!) with her silly antics, but don’t be fooled — Esme is smart. She’ll need regular exercise, mental challenges, and a home ready to help her channel her big brain and big energy into greatness.Still a puppy at heart (and in manners), Esme is building her confidence and learning the ropes of polite doggy behavior. With patient guidance and a sense of humor, she’ll blossom into a loyal, loving companion — with just a dash of chaos for flavor.Looking for a hilarious, water-loving, treat-scheming sidekick? Esme’s your girl.Esme recently met some social dogs at our shelter and did fine. She wasn’t ready to play, but we hope that as she gets more experience in our shelter playgroups, she’ll be ready to show us her silly side with other dogs. Looking for a buddy for your dog? Bring him/her to the shelter for a meet and greet and see if we're a match! Check out her playgroup video here:To meet me, visit the Bradshaw Animal Shelter Tuesday-Sunday, Noon - 5:00 pm, Wednesdays, Noon - 6:00 pm. All adoptions are on a first-come, first-served basis. To help expedite the meet and greet process, please make note of my Animal ID number, and those of other dogs you might be interested in meeting. Be sure to bring your ID with you, too. We are located at 3839 Bradshaw Road, Sacramento. I look forward to getting to know you!
Contribute to *ESME's Stash!

100% of *ESME's balance will be sent to whoever adopts *ESME.
Adopt *ESME and Receive *ESME's Fund
Adopting a pet can be expensive, and we're trying to help by fundraising for each individual in need of adoption. After verifying the adoption, *ESME's new family will receive the funds that their pet has raised.
$0.0 is *ESME's current balance
The adopting family is the only party eligible to receive the contribution. If you adopted the *ESME, thank you for providing a home and a loving family!
Please begin the process of claiming *ESME's contribution here.
For adoptions in which nokillnetwork.org was the matchmaker and we have contact information for both parties, we make every effort to contact the adopting family. For adoptions that were not facilitated by nokillnetwork.org, we still encourage the adopting family to claim the contribution by submitting the necessary information.
The adopting family is the only party eligible to receive the contribution. The adopting family will be required to provide proof of adoption between 4-6 weeks after adoption. This is to ensure that the home is a good match and *ESME was not returned. After we have verified the adoption, *ESME’s balance will be sent to the adopting family. Our staff provides instructions and help throughout this process.
We want the *ESME’s balance to go to the adopting family as a way to say thank you for providing a loving home and to help with pet care expenses. In the unfortunate event we cannot contact them and verify the adoption, *ESME’s balance will remain in our general fund. This fund may be used to match contributions made to other adoptable pets, incentify other adoption-related actions, promote our mission, or support the operating expenses of nokillnetwork.org. If you would like to make a direct contribution to nokillnetwork.org to help us help other pets in need, you can go here. We appreciate your generosity and help!
