Vision

It is our vision that someday no adoptable homeless or rehabilitatable animal will be euthanized within Santa Barbara County.


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.

Purpose

The Santa Barbara County Animal Care
Foundation, Inc. was established in 2002, to secure philanthropic support for the Santa Barbara County Animal Services. We are a non-profit organization whose dedication is designed to directly benefit the homeless, abandoned and neglected animals in our community.

The Santa Barbara County 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 to make a difference in the lives of our County’s innocent homeless animals. We are striving to assist our County Shelters in working towards establishing a no-kill goal.

We have been successful in the past year raising funds for the building of the new and badly needed Santa Maria Animal Center. Our interests reach far beyond the building of this new facility.

Our commitment includes:

• The establishment of medical funding for injured and treatable homeless animals that otherwise face euthanasia
• community education and outreach, and
• the enhancement of direct assistance to the homeless animals in our county animal shelters.
