Yolo County Animal Services Shelter

Our Mission

Yolo County Animal Services is dedicated to providing compassionate care for animals in our community. We strive to offer a safe haven and high-quality medical treatment for every pet that comes through our doors, ensuring each animal is treated with dignity and kindness.

Serving Our Community

As a taxpayer-funded, open-admission municipal shelter, we serve the cities of Woodland, Davis, West Sacramento, Winters, the UC Davis campus, and the unincorporated areas of Yolo County. We stand as a first responder for animals in natural disasters and citizen emergencies, working tirelessly to support domestic and exotic animals in need.

How We Care for Our Animals

We provide a comprehensive range of services including housing, medical treatment, and daily care for lost, abandoned, sick, or injured animals. Our team also enforces animal welfare laws and offers vital community resources such as low-cost vaccinations, licensing, and education on pet care. Every animal in our care receives our full commitment to their health and well-being as we prepare them for their next chapter.

Finding Your Perfect Companion

We believe that every adoption is the start of a beautiful, lifelong partnership. Our team works closely with potential adopters to ensure that every pet finds a home that matches their size, temperament, and unique care needs. When you adopt from us, you aren't just getting a pet; you are joining a community of compassionate individuals who make second chances possible.

Connect With Us

We invite you to experience the joy of adoption by browsing our available animals online or visiting us at our facility on Gibson Road in Woodland. Whether you are ready to adopt, want to learn more about our upcoming events, or are looking for ways to volunteer, we look forward to meeting you and helping you find your new best friend.
