"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 unknown but soon.
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! Please Share! 🤞🙏
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.
