Pet Protection at the park

Dog parks can be a great place to let your little furry friend run free, but without the proper precautions, a fun day at the park can turn in to a mess. Here at the City of Sacramento Animal Care, we want to protect both you and your pet because your safety and the safety of others is one of our top priorities. Here are some basic doggie rules for your future adventures at City parks.
