What We Do

The City of Sacramento Animal Care Services does far more than caring for lost, injured and abandoned animals in our community.

We provide a variety of services that protect both citizens and animals including:

Transporting stray injured animals to veterinarians for emergency care.
Rescuing animals from locked vehicles and abusive or negligent conditions.
Impounding loose and stray animals.
Administering a rabies control program.
Helping citizens resolve nuisance problems such as complaints about barking dogs.
Investigating dog bite complaints.
Assisting other agencies such as the Sacramento Society for Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (SSPCA), the Police and Fire Department, and California Highway Patrol.
Educating pet owners on the importance of spaying or neutering their cats and dogs.

Most importantly, we keep lost pets safe and happy so they can be reunited with their owner or adopted into a new family.
