About Us

Mission

It is our mission to promote animal welfare and to better the quality of life for animals in Santa Barbara County through education, outreach, collaboration and promotion of the humane ethic and responsible treatment of all animals. 

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
