Through year-round training, planning, community outreach, and collaboration with county agencies and community partners, we strengthen our collective ability to prepare for and respond to incidents helping ensure the best possible outcomes for all animals.
Approved by the local jurisdiction in coordination with Sonoma County Animal Services, Sonoma CART is the only animal response team in Sonoma County authorized to partner with first responders to safely evacuate, shelter in place, and/or transport large and small animals during disasters or emergencies in affected areas.
