"Sam entered our shelter a stray on June 20th, presenting with abrasions on his head and around his eye. The origins of these injuries are unclear, but we promptly initiated a treatment plan. Subsequently, we discovered that Sam had been involved in an altercation with another dog, resulting in injuries to the other dog.
Sam has shown a friendly demeanor towards our kennel staff and is generally cooperative when leashed. However, he exhibits a significant prey drive, which occasionally makes it challenging for staff and volunteers to redirect his focus away from other animals. During a playgroup session, Sam displayed assertive behavior towards other dogs. Durning, playgroup Sam growled when a staff reached down to grab the dragline when he under the table, however at the same time another our female helper dog was walking by which is uncertain whether this response was directed towards staff or another dog.
Given these observations, Sam requires more specialized behavioral support than our shelter can provide. He would benefit greatly from comprehensive behavior modification and a full assessment to address his specific needs.
Sam's deadline for exiting the shelter is Saturday, August 3rd.
We deeply appreciate your continued support and collaboration." -SBCAS for more information, please contact the Santa Barbara Shelter by stopping by the shelter or call

Meet Venus, our resident fetch aficionado! She’s got the perfect throw—close enough to keep you engaged but still showing off her skills. What a star!
Venus came to us on 6/7/24, rescued by a kind-hearted Samaritan who found Venus alongside an Anatolian Shepherd mix. This thoughtful person kept them safe until our team could step in. Although Venus was initially timid, she was easy to work with, even during her microchipping. Our vet staff echoes the same sentiment: shy but oh-so-sweet. Volunteers describe Venus as a friendly, easy-to-walk companion.
In a recent playgroup with our social butterfly, Ray, Venus was polite but preferred to observe rather than join in the fun.
Currently, Venus is waiting to meet her forever family at our Lompoc Shelter on 1501 W. Central Avenue.
Please help our pups by fostering, adopting one of our dogs or volunteering at one of our shelters. We need our communities help more than ever. Any help will be greatly appreciated!

Dear Friends,
We desperately need your help. Our beloved King Louie, ID A533498, needs to find a loving home as soon as possible. Time is running out, and he can’t stay in the shelter much longer. Please share his story and help us find him a forever family.
King Louie was surrendered by his owner who, heartbroken, could no longer care for him. He’s a gentle giant, weighing in at 108 pounds, and his size is matched only by his big, sweet heart. When I first met King Louie, I was struck by how friendly and motivated he was, especially with treats. His playtime with another dog, Fern, was positive—he loved running around but mostly kept to himself, always made sure to check in with Fern and I.
Unfortunately, King Louie had a scuffle with another dog in the shelter, and now his situation is urgent. We need to find him a safe, loving home right away.
Please, if you or someone you know can offer King Louie the love and care he deserves, visit the Santa Maria Shelter at 548 W. Foster Road. You can also message me directly for more information. Every share, comment, tag every moment counts. Let’s give King Louie the chance he needs.
Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.

Hachi is an amazing dog. His true presence is quite different than what you experience when he is in his kennel or getting leashed up. He is gentle and affectionate. He LOVES our buddy @devsfriendswdogs and smothered her with kisses when she was introducing him to us. He is gentle with kids, easy to lead on a walk (little to no pulling). He loves to sniff and mark his territory, so a passive walker will enjoy a more leasurely walk with this fluffy guy. He truly is a sweetheart. Come meet him at the Santa Barbara shelter and ask to take him for a day foster!
Ranger 🐕
I love every dog I meet, but there are 3 that have truly captured my heart: my childhood dog, my current dog, and now Ranger 💚
I got to spend a couple calm hours walking with Ranger. Within 5 minutes, we were best buds! He’s a large 90 lbs, but doesn’t use it to his advantage; he’s easy to walk! He was neutral around strangers, but eagerly said hi to a few who wanted to meet him. Ranger got some pets and love (and almost “borrowed” one of their sandwiches that was sitting unattended 😂). He was unfazed by barking dogs, dogs walking by, traffic, bicyclists, loud garbage trucks, etc. He’s enjoys sniffing at his own pace, but can be redirected with some leash pressure if you want to keep walking. He knows sit, down, shake, and probably more! He’s friendly, listens well, and is very treat-motivated, so who knows what else you can teach him!
Personality: calm, food-motivated, foodie, very handsome
Breed: German Shepherd
Age: 5 years young
Adoptable via @sbcanimalservices
5473 Overpass Rd
Santa Barbara, CA

Hey there, folks! I’ve got some exciting news for you - our boy Roger is ready to take the world by storm! He recently had a fantastic day out on a foster adventure with his buddy @mahnialama, strutting his stuff around town like a true superstar. And let me tell you, Roger is done waiting around. He’s ready to bid farewell to our shelter and find his forever home!
Our volunteers can’t stop raving about Roger. They say he’s a total love bug who deserves a break from shelter life. So, here’s the deal - we’re looking for someone awesome to take Roger in for a couple of weeks. Let him kick off 2024 in style, decompressing in a warm and cozy home. Are you up for some fun with Mr. Roger?
If you want more information on this super special boy, just click that link in our bio. Or better yet, swing by the Santa Barbara Shelter and meet Roger in person. Trust me, he’s worth every second of your time. Let’s make Roger’s dreams come true and find him the loving home he deserves!

The SBCAS continues to intake lost pets on a daily basis. Someone has to own these dogs or SOMEONE knows who these dogs belong too! We have too many assistance programs to help folks with Rehoming their pets or to help folks keep their pets! Dogs are being hit by cars and left on the side of roads! Let’s do better by being responsible for our pets or help your neighbor with finding solutions to keep their pets safe. If you have helped a neighbor keep their pet(s), please tag us. I would love to start spreading the word of how our community is trying to create a more humane world for our animals.
For more information on the above lost dogs, please click the link in our bio.

Hachi strutted his stuff today! He walks great on a leash, and it was just fun to see him sniff everything happily with Sally.
Please adopt or foster hachi!!!
(For any deaf or hard of hearing folks, the music is saying “I’m too sexy for my love” and then “too sexy for my love” a few more times and then goes into drum like instrumental euro pop music)
