What an amazing place that I honestly didn't even know existed! The people working here are so knowledgeable and good to the cats. The girls had the best time playing with the cats as well! They have small rooms to go in where you can hangout with the cats in an enclosed, safe environment. I can definitely tell that the cats here are really loved and cared for! This is such a loving place for these cats. Also, shoutout to ASAP for being so good with the girl scouts who visited them as well!

As a local I have been to ASAP multiple times. Every time I have been there the staff is welcoming,…read moreand very approachable. The place is very clean and the cats look very happy. We adopted a sweet cat from here in July and we could not be happier. I recommend this place, the application process is a breeze and is paperless. One difference between ASAP from other shelters is that you can foster cats and that they have different age cats avaliable. They will also not discriminate against people with disabilities and try to match you with a cat/kitten. I really enjoyed my experience and highly recommend ASAP.

They were extremely professional, thorough, & beyond affordable!!! My girl had white rice-looking things in her poo. ChatGPT said Tape Worm (gag!). They treated my girl w/ an injection, said it will be gone in a week. This little worm situation would have cost me at least $300 at a private vet (where most have been bought out now & charge you what could be a downpayment on a house!) There is no office visit fee, so this little incident ended very happily for only $25!!!!! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you Santa Barbara Humane for taking such excellent care of my girl w/out breaking the bank!!! WE LOVE YOU!!!

This is one class act rescue. I know because I am in rescue…read more DAWG has a nice facility. It isn't the Taj Mahal. The dogs really don't care about gilt. It is clean, both to the eyes and to the nose. There are nice runs for regular play time. Plenty of shade is provided. The staff loves dogs and does their best to take great care of them. The dogs who really need some rehab are fostered, ensuring that they get the best chance possible. This group isn't afraid to save a hard luck case. They have picked up some dogs who truly needed help and some time to learn and recover. Kudos for that. When you visit, check out their board that shows which dogs love to jog, which come with lots of obedience training, and which really would love to live with another dog. Add in on-site vet care, connections to local training and rehab groups, and a willingness to pick up mixed breeds, and you have a winning combination. Consider DAWG when you are ready to add a new family member to your life.

Check out their website for more information. Donate money if you can. If you are at a state park, find a park employee to help you. They can send out a ranger to assist. Keep an eye out for sea birds in distress. This area has algae blooms that make them birds ill and natural oil seeps that coat their feathers. Or if you see any birds ensnarled in fish line/lures! The wildlife rescue can help these birds. Please contact them. They have volunteers they can send out. If you find an injured animal in your yard you can also bring it in yourself. Please bring in any animal that you find has been bitten or scratched by a cat even if they seem okay because cat saliva can be deadly to them. Also birds that hit windows may seem to recover only to die later of internal injuries. Bring them in for evaluation. You can also volunteer with them. See their website for more information.

Her guinea pig had recently passed and she was enamored with this bunny. He introduced us to the bunny and educated us on how to handle her, where she came from, and many specifics about bunnies in general. After a while he left us to hold her and pet her which was enjoyable and sweet. We took some information about bunny care. We learned a lot, and had a wonderful experience just holding a sweet bunny! If we ever decide to adopt a bunny, we will definitely choose one here.

The area around here has the Humane society, animal shelter, Dog Adoption, etc. So if you're not looking for rabbits, they have guinea pigs, dogs, cats, and maybe other kinds of rodents. I fell in love with my guinea pig, Marbles. My heart just broke knowing that these animals were not wanted anymore or were living under the crawl space of a house. I wanted to take them all in! But they were in good care, the workers there loved every single of their animals and constantly play with them and make sure they are happy. The bunnies lived in their own pens where they can run around and talk to the other animals. The guinea pigs sometimes play with rabbits together! Even if you don't want to adopt an animal, just stop by and pay the animals a visit.
