Elk Grove Police Animal Control Unit Staff

	James Cartwright On January 4, 2010, Officer James Cartwright became the newest and youngest Animal Control Officer with the City of Elk Grove. Before becoming an Animal Services Officer, James was a Captain with the Elk Grove Police Explorers. His desire to give back to his community, drew James to Animal Services, so that he could give a voice to those that don't have one. James' favorite type of animal is a dog, specifically German Shepherds. He believes German Shepherds are the most loyal dogs a person can own. James is the proud owner of a German Shepherd named "Dallas." When he is not working with animals he is either watching the Dallas Cowboys play football or playing baseball with his friends.

New Title 8

The Elk Grove City Council passed a new Title 8 into the municipal code at their October 10, 2008 council meeting. On November 10, 2008 the new ordinance went into effect. Click here for a complete copy of the new Title 8.

Lost Animals

Currently, the City of Elk Grove does not have a housing facility / shelter for lost animals living within the City limits. As a result, we have created a partnership with the SSPCA to house any animals lost who live within the City of Elk Grove limits. If you have lost an animal, please, contact the Sacramento SPCA.

Local, Community, and/or Organizational Events

If you have an upcoming event and are interested in inviting the Animal Services Division to the function, please contact our mainline 916.687.3023, to schedule the date and time.
