I ordered a brick and don’t see it in the sidewalk yet. Where is it? Bricks normally take 4-6 weeks to arrive. Once they arrive, our maintenance staff has to insert the bricks into the sidewalk of the Adoptions building, which can also take time depending on the needs of the shelter. It can take up to a total of 12 weeks before the bricks are placed. If you have questions, please call 916-504-2804
