How you can make a difference?
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
