Yolo County Animal Services announced Wednesday it has suspended all animal adoptions in response to the COVID-19 outbreak and the county’s order to shelter in place.
Animal Services staff — which has been temporarily reduced — will continue to accept stray animals at the Woodland shelter and respond to priority calls for services. The shelter also will continue its animal fostering program, and anyone interested in fostering an animal during this time is encouraged to call 530-668-5287 for more information.
Elsewhere in the county, the front lobbies have been closed at the Yolo County Sheriff’s Office on East Gibson Road and the Yolo County District Attorney’s Office on Second Street, effective Thursday.
“We understand, for some, this will be one of the many inconveniences in the weeks ahead,” the Sheriff’s Office posted on Facebook, along with a photo of its deserted lobby. “We want our community to know that despite the public facing this closure, the men and women of the Yolo County Sheriff’s Office are on the job and committed to public safety.”
Sheriff’s staff will continue to answer calls on its main line, 530-668-5280, “and providing services to the extent we are able,” the post said.
Questions regarding other issues can be mailed to the following addresses: civil matters, civil@yolocounty.org; records, records@yolocounty.org; concealed weapon permits, CCW@yolocounty.org.
The DA’s Office announced on social media the closure of its lobby until at least April 7, but staff is available by phone at 530-666-8180.
