Santa Barbara County Animal Care Foundation

The Santa Barbara County Animal Care Foundation's mission is 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.

The Santa Barbara County Animal Care Foundation, a dedicated all-volunteer "501.c3" nonprofit founded in 2002, is on a mission to transform Santa Barbara County into a haven where every adoptable and treatable animal gets a second chance at finding a loving home. In close collaboration with Santa Barbara County Animal Services, the foundation plays a pivotal role in providing life-changing assistance to the most at-risk animals within the county shelter system. Our unwavering efforts have a direct and profound impact on animals residing in the county's three shelters, ensuring that these vulnerable beings are given the best chance for a brighter future and finding forever homes. Through our commitment and partnerships, we are working tirelessly to create a more compassionate and caring community for animals in need.
