County of Santa Barbara: Santa Maria Animal Shelter

The Santa Barbara Humane Society runs two facilities in Santa Barbara and Santa Maria where it provides care for stray and community-owned animals.

Since 1987, Santa Barbara County and the non-profit Companion Animal Placement Assistance (CAPA) have worked together in Lompoc to save lives. Providing the finest care possible for the animals is our goal at Santa Barbara County Animal Services.

Between 100 and 150 cats and kittens are housed in open rooms and patios equipped with climbing trees, cuddly beds, and cubbies at VIVA's no-kill, cage-free cat shelter in Lompoc.

Shadow was a cherished family pet and close friend. After he was discovered abandoned at the age of 15, tied to a tree, we adopted him. To pay tribute to Shadow and preserve a portion of his enormous heart, we established Shadow's Fund.

Old Yeller Ranch Rescue is committed to rescuing needy dogs from Californian shelters.

"A private, non-profit animal shelter committed to caring for companion animals with compassion and diligence while reducing their population."
