Join us to Walk Against Abuse
We invite our animal-loving community to Walk Against Abuse on Sunday, September 18, 11am – 2pm, at Elings Park, alongside Domestic Violence Solutions for Santa Barbara County and Elings Park. The event supports C.A.R.E.4Paws’ Safe Haven program, which provides temporary foster care or boarding for pets of domestic violence survivors.

We’ve got food!
C.A.R.E.4Paws just received an anonymous donation of six pallets of pet food to support families in need in our community. We are so grateful for this most amazing contribution, which will feed hundreds of pets! A special thanks to the team, including sweet ambassador dog Lulu, that drove down to Orange County to pick up the pallets, and to the crews that later offloaded all of the food. At least half of the food will help stock the three Pet Resource Centers Lompoc’s we co-operate at Santa Barbara County Animal Services’ shelters in Lompoc, Santa Maria and Santa Barbara alongside SBCAS, CAPA and four other nonprofits.
