Animal Care Services

We do not handle live wild animals including skunks, poisonous snakes, possums and deer. We do assist with cows, horses and llamas. Call 916-368-7387 for more information.

The County Agricultural Commission has a trapper service that sets traps and picks up raccoons, skunks, possums and coyotes. To contact the Federal Trapper assigned to Sacramento County, call 916-875-6603 weekdays between 7:30 a.m. - 8:30 a.m. The trapper leaves the office at 8:30 and any calls coming in after 8:30 are processed the next day. The trapper charges a $25 fee for the trap and the first animal pick-up. Any additional animals picked up are $12.50 each. Wildlife Services - County Agricultural Commission.

Some wild animals may carry rabies ​or ticks that carry the disease tularemia, so it is best to leave wild animals alone, and to make sure your pets are vaccinated against r​abies​ and have been treated against fleas or ticks if they are indoor/outdoor pets.
