Our Commitment

The SBC Animal Care Foundation, Inc. was established in the Spring of 2002. We are an all-volunteer, non-profit 501 (c)3 organization. Funds that are donated to our foundation are not donations to the County, we are a separate Foundation that was established.  Our efforts and focus are supporting & maintaining Santa Barbara County Animal Services No Kill Achievement.

Funding for pets

We often receive requests from pet guardians/owners who are struggling to find the funding to pay for a needed surgery or treatment. Although we appreciate the dedication of each pet guardian/owner, the Santa Barbara County Animal Care Foundation, Inc. does not have the funding to assist with the medical funding of animals who have guardians/owners. It make our hearts heavy to have to refuse, but 

How can you make a difference?

Pet Population

 Pet overpopulation is a problem in our community

  • The next time you add a four legged member to your family adopt from a local county shelter

Spay and Neuter your pets

 

  • Unless your pet is of a champion bloodline, please consider spaying or neutering your pet
  • Your pet will have less of a desire to roam or act aggressively
  • Your pet will also gain health & comfort benefits from being fixed

License and microchip your pet

 

  • A license is your pet’s best ticket home
  • Because collars can come off when a pet is lost, an added microchip will act as a permanent form of identification
  • All stray animals are checked for a license and scanned as they come into a county shelter

Vaccinate your pets regularly


  • Vaccinating your pet regularly is important for longevity and health
  • All puppies and kittens need all three baby shots prior to going out in public; otherwise they are vulnerable to deadly diseases such as parvo and distemper
  • It is the law that all dogs are vaccinated regularly for Rabies
  • Visit your veterinarian or contact the Santa Maria Animal Center to schedule your pet’s next vaccination
