About Us
We are dedicated to providing compassionate care for animals in our community.
Yolo County Animal Services (YCAS) is a taxpayer-funded, open-admission animal shelter. YCAS provides housing, care, and medical treatment to exotic and domestic stray, lost, abandoned, sick, injured, and surrendered animals. The shelter also enforces all state and local Animal Control and Welfare laws and is the first responder for animals in natural disasters and citizen emergencies.
Yolo County Animal Services (YCAS) is a municipal shelter that serves the cities of Woodland, Davis, West Sacramento, Winters, and the University of California Davis campus, as well as the unincorporated areas of Yolo County such as Esparto, Yolo, Guinda, Knights Landing, Dunnigan, Madison, and Brooks. Our staff is available to provide pet adoptions, redemptions, rescues, licensing, and information for low-cost vaccinations for dogs and cats.
In addition to these services, we investigate barking and noise complaints, inspect kennels, pick up loose and contained animals including livestock, respond to animal bites and attacks, rent traps, and provide welfare checks on animals. Often, we are called upon to provide emergency services and transport for other rescue personnel who are not equipped to move animals, such as the Fire Department, CHP, and Health Department. Some services require a fee.
