The Animal Services Section is responsible for the operation of the Yolo County Animal Services shelter and animal control services to the cities, unincorporated areas of the county, and the property of the University of California at Davis. The program is supported primarily through contracts for service with the cities, generous donations from citizens and businesses, and dog licensing fees.
Yolo County Animal Services is now also responsible for all rabies control enforcement in Yolo County, working in conjunction with the Health Officer.
