Check with the California Department of Fish and Wildlife for exact regulations governing the trapping and relocation of wildlife in California.
Animal Control will not respond to release or dispose of a wild animal that you have caught.
Urban growth on the Peninsula has led to the loss and disturbance of thousands of acres of wildlife habitat
While some wild animals have migrated to quieter
and other rodents) have learned to adapt and thrive alongside humans
Wild animals are most likely to become a nuisance if they are provided with an attractive environment
These attractions include safe nesting areas and available food and water
effective steps you can take to prevent these animals from making your home their home
Please note: City of Palo Alto Animal Control Officers do not provide services for healthy/nuisance wildlife. If you are having an issue with nuisance wildlife, please call the Santa Clara County Vector Control District at (800) 675-1155 for assistance
You may also report incidents involving coyotes and mountain lions to the California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW) here

I FOUND A BABY BIRD! I FOUND A BABY MAMMAL!
Wild animals can be vectors (carriers) of various diseases. The Santa Clara County Vector Control District provides information on dealing with many animal and insect disease vectors
You may not realize it – a simple bag of garbage
If wild animals have access to human food and garbage
Wildlife become susceptible to vehicle strikes
Whether you live in a city or a rural part of California
They naturally fear humans and keep their distance – so long as they remain fully wild
For additional information about specific types of animals gathered from CDFW & SCC Vector Control
The California Department of Fish and Wildlife has a Wildlife Conflict program
and serves as the lead agency charged with helping to resolve human-wildlife conflict
California is home to the most natural diversity of any state with a human population expected to grow to 50 million by 2050. Most human-wildlife interactions do not escalate to conflict. Learn how to prevent, address, and transform human-wildlife conflicts
Report incidents with wildlife directly to the California Dept. of Fish and Wildlife here
Favorite nesting sites for wild animals include the attic and crawl space under a house
When animal nesting or habitation is discovered
many excellent solutions to your unwanted occupancy problem exist
Unless you remove whatever is attracting it
Animal Control Officers do not provide nuisance animal removal service
A private pest control service will trap and euthanize the animal since relocating wildlife is illegal in the State of California
Trapping and euthanizing is also a short term solution because a new batch of wild animals will move in if the reason for them being there is not changed
Wild animals my come to your property for food
Securing holes under sheds and decks is recommend
Also it is recommended that you not feed domestic animals outdoors
The goal is just to keep wild animals from calling your property home, because we’re never get rid of all the wild animals (nor do we want to.) If an animal is ever removed, and improvements to your property are not made, more wild animals will keep coming back. Use of a one way door for example can assist with humane extraction from under sheds and decks
If an animal has taken up residence in an attic or crawl space
block off all entrances accessible to the animal except one
Place a radio near the entrance and play music loudly during the day
Place dishes of ammonia-soaked rags near the same spot
This should annoy the animal enough to convince it to leave within a day or two
Place a piece of cloth (such as an old T-shirt) with your scent near the resting area
Nesting mothers are concerned with the safety of their young
Anytime you think there are nests of young
be sure the mother and her babies have relocated before sealing up all access points
or mothers will return and destroy the seal to retrieve their young
bring their food and water indoors at night
and dropped or discarded fruits and vegetables
Secure trash containers with weighted lids
or secure the lids with straps or chains attached to the handles
To prevent raccoons or other wildlife from digging in your garden
sprinkle cayenne pepper around the perimeter
Soak rags in ammonia or bleach and place them in bowls or tie them to posts around the garden
This should deter uninvited animal visitors from foraging for grubs or insects
Some success has been achieved using motion detector lights
Secure outdoor fish ponds with a wooden cover
or horizontally submerge wire mesh around the circumference of the pond
Attach the outside edges of the mesh to the edge of the pond
Fish then have the center of the pond to themselves
because it provides an unstable surface on which to perch
so it's a good idea to keep your pets indoors at night while many wild animals are out
you're required to obtain a permit to keep any type of livestock
and turkeys within the Palo Alto city limits
except in areas zoned for agriculture or open space
There are special provisions for keeping more than six chickens
If you are having a party and hired a petting zoo
that too requires a permit from Animal Control

If you are giving up your pet because of a behavior problem
Animal shelter staff can offer some tried and true suggestions or refer you to knowledgeable trainers in the area and low-cost dog obedience classes are offered in the area. Please don't leave a pet outside the shelter when we are not open
Not only is this very dangerous for the pet
The chances of your animal being adopted are significantly better if you provide us with the information we'll ask of you when you surrender the pet
Pets In Need will accept surrendered animals at the Animal Shelter (3281 E
Bayshore Rd.) during normal business hours
Driver's License and/or current utility bill.) There is no charge to surrender your animal. Please bring all medical records
and allow time to go over temperament and to fill out a personality profile and sign a surrender form
Surrender your animal to Pets In Need
Animal Control Officers can come to you (for a fee, listed in the city's municipal fee schedule) to pick up your animal. Please call (650) 329-2413

You should identify potential sites to move your family and animals should this need to happen and plan on how you would get there
identify a neighbor that is familiar with your pets that could assist in their care if you were not at home or unable to return to your home
It's a good idea to become familiar with the available community responses by local animal shelters veterinarians
