To help curb local shelter intake numbers and improve pet family welfare, C.A.R.E.4Paws and Santa Barbara County Animal Services (SBCAS) organized a “spayathon” the weekend of January 27-28 at SBCAS’ shelter location in Santa Maria, altering more than 100 dogs and cats. We also provided vaccines, flea treatment, dewormer and nail trims for 250 pets and microchipped 140 pets for free thanks to SBCAS. It takes a village to pull off this kind of event and we’re so grateful to the staff volunteers, SBCAS and dog/cat trainer Matt Chan of Los Lukes, who offered free pet behavioral advice on the 28th. If you want to help reduce shelter overpopulation, we’re deeply grateful for donations of any size to pay for surgeries.
