WHAT WE DO
The City of Sacramento Animal Care Services does far more than caring for lost and abandoned animals in our community. We provide a variety of services that protect both citizens and animals, including:
- Transporting stray animals that were injured to emergency vets.
- Rescuing animals from locked vehicles and from abusive, cruel, or negligent conditions.
- Impounding stray animals roaming the streets and picking up stray animals from a citizen's residence.
- Administering a rabies control program.
- Helping citizens resolve nuisance problems, such as dogs barking excessively and dogs defecating or urinating on other people's property.
- Investigating dog and cat bite complaints.
- Assisting other agencies such as the County of Sacramento Animal Care and Regulation, the Sacramento Society for Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (SSPCA), the police department, the fire department, and the California Highway Patrol.
- Educating pet owners on the importance of spaying or neutering their dogs and cats.
Most importantly, we keep lost pets safe and sound so that they can hopefully be reunited with their owner or adopted into a new family.
