Hello!

We hope all is well with you and your four-legged family members. 

Right now, we need your help to get four of our adoptable dogs into loving forever homes or long-term fosters. Our super cute puppies, Jasper and Smokey, are staying at Creekside Pet Boarding in Arroyo Grande. Our beautiful Greek sisters, Athena and Aphrodite, are boarded at Lucky Dog in Nipomo. 

Our boarding partners are fantastic, but it’s time for these amazing pups to land in a home! ❤️

We are excited to offer tickets and sponsorships for our Happy Tails Celebration & Fundraiser on Sunday, May 4, at Santa Barbara’s Cabrillo Pavilion, 4pm to 7pm. Enjoy wine, cocktails and hors d’oeuvres on the oceanfront terrace, a delicious dinner by Whiskey ‘N Rye, and curated live and silent auctions.

We hope you’ll join us as a Happy Tails sponsor to support our critical services in 2025 and beyond. We cannot do our work without you!

It’s hard to believe it’s already February! This year has been a tumultuous one so far, especially with the devastating LA fires. On January 10, C.A.R.E.4Paws and four of our awesome partners stepped in to pull 34 dogs and cats from overcrowded LA shelters.

We share details about our rescue journey and the beautiful lives saved below. And we send a huge thanks to everyone who has helped with donations, foster care and boarding for our LA rescue pups. We could not be more grateful!

Speaking of happy tails….Tickets and sponsorship opportunities are available for our annual Happy Tails Celebration & Fundraiser at Cabrillo Pavilion on May 4.

We are so grateful for our donors and volunteers, who are incredibly generous with their time and resources. 

Every year brings new C.A.R.E.4Paws records. In 2024 alone, we’ve delivered services to close to 20,000 pets in Santa Barbara and San Luis Obispo counties—triple the number served just a few years ago. 

We know the requests for help will not decrease in 2025, and we ask for our community’s help to meet the need.

National Giving Month and Giving Tuesday are not only a time to celebrate the work of nonprofits, but to honor and give thanks to the community’s incredible generosity. Together, we’re making the world a better place!

C.A.R.E.4Paws could never do what we do without our supporters. You help us provide access to care, ensuring that animals stay healthy and with the people who love them.

There are lots of ways to get involved, support others, be generous and make a difference this month. We offer an amazing, $25,000 gift-match opportunity for the Albus Fund for animals who need life-saving veterinary care.

In October, C.A.R.E.4Paws is working tirelessly to keep pets healthy and with the people who love them, from the 20,000 dogs and cats we’re caring for through our mobile clinic program, to hundreds of pet meals distributed monthly, to critical support for domestic violence survivors and unhoused pet families. We cannot do our work without YOU!

In August, C.A.R.E.4Paws celebrates our 15th year of working in underserved communities on the Central Coast to keep pets healthy, out of shelters and with the people who love them.

Also, for one year, our state-of-the art, 37-foot mobile clinic has allowed us to expand our pawprint and improve pet family welfare. Thank you to everyone who helped us roll out our amazing unit. It has been a game-changer for us!

Last year, our clinic team assisted more than 17,000 pets. In the first seven months of 2024, our compassionate crew has already cared for more than 11,500 dogs and cats. We’re also assisting hundreds of families in need monthly with pet meals and other resources.

As of June 30, we’ve helped more than 9,000 dogs and cats through our mobile clinic program alone.

We are already midway through the year and have so many great updates to share, especially as we’re assisting more pet families than ever with our safety-net services. 

We just launched a Stay Pawsitive Summer Swag campaign that features new, fun colors and shirt styles—plus, a portion of each sale goes toward vet care for families in need.

You’ll also find other ways to contribute to our community work below. 

The demand for help is tremendous and, with YOUR support, we can continue changing the outcome for animals and the people who love them, preventing suffering and pet homelessness.

Thanks for all that you do!
