Roll on by this Saturday! 🧡🚗

Join us for a community-wide Donation Drive-Thru on Saturday, March 14! Swing by anytime from 11am to 2pm at Deckers (250 Coromar Drive in Goleta) to help us raise critical resources to keep local pets healthy and with their families for life.

Our goal is to support pet families in need by stocking our pet pantries and funding essential medical care. We are gratefully accepting donations of both dry and canned pet food, as well as monetary gifts. Your financial contributions go directly toward the purchase of pet food and the operation of our mobile clinic wellness services.

Can’t join us on Saturday? You can still make an impact by supporting us any time of the year with one of the options below.

Your generosity keeps families together!

Pawsitive progress at our Pet Refuge

Thanks to many generous supporters, our Pet Refuge is a reality! The pre-manufactured dog kennels are installed and the large exercise yard is ready for playtime.

This is a significant milestone for our animal-loving community, as the refuge will provide a safe, free, temporary haven for dogs and cats whose families are navigating difficult life circumstances.

Now we’ve entered the next fundraising phase and are working to raise $20,000 to support the care of the pets staying at the refuge. Beyond monetary gifts, we are truly grateful for donations of supplies, including Kuranda beds, cozy blankets and Kongs (durable chew toys).

Every single donation makes a meaningful difference!

We’re pawsitively excited for our Happy Tails Celebration & Fundraiser on Sunday, May 3, from 3pm to 7pm, at Santa Barbara’s Cabrillo Pavilion.

Join us for a fun and meaningful afternoon filled with community, inspiring stories, great food and drinks and exciting auctions, all in support of pet families across the Central Coast.

We invite you to become a Happy Tails Sponsor to support our work in 2026 and beyond. We offer several meaningful sponsor opportunities that all include event tickets, while assisting pet families with critical services.

Did someone say Pizza 4 Pets?

🍕 Ready to add a slice of goodness to your March? Klondike Pizza’s month-long fundraiser in Arroyo Grande supports C.A.R.E.4Paws and our mission to keep Central Coast pets healthy, safe and with the people who love them.

Throughout March, every time you enjoy a delicious Klondike meal (dine-in or take-out), you can choose to donate to help cover affordable veterinary care, pet food, vaccines and other critical services that keep pet families together. You’ll also have the chance to enter to win fantastic raffle prizes, with winners announced on April 2 during our special grand finale. That day, the C.A.R.E.4Paws team will be serving in the restaurant, and we’ll receive a generous portion of all sales plus tips!

Come enjoy great food while supporting local pets in need.

Calling all local pups!

There is still time to enter your pup into the Pooch Playoffs 2026! Images By Valerie hosts this dog portrait project that combines creativity and giving back to the community, as all the photo session fees are donated to C.A.R.E.4Paws.
