Hi there! My name is Rosco and I'm urgently needing a new loving home or even a foster.

I was adopted from a high kill shelter, thankfully (a lot of my friends weren't so lucky). Unfortunately, the person that got me wasn't a good fit and because she couldn't find a place for me, I was back to where I started, I was going to get euthanized.

A nice lady saved me from that fate, but she already has 3 dogs and can't keep me so she's looking for a foster family while I'm being networked or even better a loving home for me. She's reached out to rescues and stuff, but everyone is full. My only option is to find a soft-landing spot or the reality getting euthanized is sadly back for me.

I am a sweet guy; I seemingly get along with other dogs with a proper introduction. I may be good with cats, at least it seems like I am. I love people and I'm an all-around good boy.

Please please share me in the hopes someone will see me and give me the second chance I so deserve.

Please reach out to [email protected] and they can get you in touch with the gal that is trying so desperately to help me.

All the best,

Rosco

This little adorable nugget is back on the adoption market. Who will be the lucky person(s) that will welcome him with lots of love?

Sweet Billy is available for adoption! This 2 year old loving 10 pound nugget has had a rough start. He was with a homeless man who traded him for a 24 can case of beer. He's been with the loving rescue Cold Noses, Warm Hearts . He will need some remedial potty training. He came from a life of living with a homeless person, who traded him for a case of beer with a Good Samaritan. So he needs the basics and CNWH can help provide a plan to help him learn.

This guy is shy and has a sensitive soul. He loves his food and squeaky toys! He loves to have fun but loves his relaxing snuggle time.

He probably would love a quiet home. He gets along great with other dogs. Since he was with his previous "owner" 24/7, he will need a patient person(s) to adjust him properly to being home alone. He'd ideally flourish with a retired person(s) who are home more often than not. He needs that special person(s) to recognize how special he is and give him a loving home. ❤️ Please share Billy.

Hey everyone! I'm Shiloh and at no fault of my own, I'm seeking a new loving home!

I'm rocking 8 years of being an experienced companion under my collar. I'm loving, snuggly and an all around fun gal. I love walks, car rides and hanging out with my people. I can be a tad rough with my stuffie toys but I'm house trained and can chill by myself too.

I currently live and get along with two dogs, a biggie and a small. The biggie doesn't like me much. Not sure why. I really get along with all dogs with a proper doggie intro.

I am a fusion of Dachshund and Terrier, I'm about 29 pounds. I am spayed and vaccinated. I do need a microchip soon though, I can get that when I'm in my new home! As you can obviously see, I'm adorable!

If you think I may be a good match, please email [email protected] and they will put you in touch with my current owners who want nothing more than for me to find a loving home.

Paws crossed, please share me!

Needs foster/adopter ASAP! Mary is the sweetest and she's a fun dog! She just doesn't dig sharing her home with other furry friends. She'd be the perfect companion for someone seeking one loving adorable pooch. Contact Santa Barbara County Animal Services

Saturday, May 11th! Come out and meet some amazing Santa Barbara County Animal Services foster dogs. Fostering is such a valuable tool to learn more about a dog's personality and adopters are privy to all the information from the foster, which can only make the transition to your home (the adopter) better. 🐾❤️

Hi everyone, I'm Baldur!

At no fault of my own, I must find a new loving home. My current family has had some significant changes, and this has been very hard for them. Please be gentle with any comments and please just help me find a new soft-landing spot in a loving home.

I'm currently up in north county of Santa Barbara but if we may be a good match, I have someone that can bring me for a meet and greet.

Check out the video of me in the comments! Adorbs!!!

Please share me far and wide.

If you may be a match for me, please email: [email protected] or call: 805-208-9590

*Application, rehoming fee and agreement will be required*

Meet Rice Crispies, otherwise known as Rice, RC, RK or just the best ol boy.

Rice Crispies has been at the shelter since October 7 of 2022. He has been on multiple day trips and spent lots of time in foster, but no one has come to adopt him.

We understand that adopting a senior might be hard on your heart but just think how hard it is on his heart to be in a shelter environment at the old age of 11.

RC's last overnight foster mentioned that his breathing sounded kind of odd at night so our wonderful staff had x-rays sent out to a board certified radiologist to read the x-rays but his breathing is OK considering his age. At this point due to his age, sadly he won't get better but will need a nice warm cozy home to live out the rest of his days.

RC is looking for a home with no other pets so that he can just continue to be the amazing dog that he is and give his humans all the love in the world.

If you're interested in opening up your home, even just to foster, please reach out to me as soon as possible!

Santa Barbara County Animal Services is near capacity. Dogs in our very own community need some help. Please consider adopting and/or fostering a pup in need.

Not to mention the high volume of dogs that are looking to be re-homed by private parties, these dogs often end up in the shelter system. Unfortunately, the dogs are the ones that end up suffering with the current pet overpopulation crisis. Please advocate and encourage spaying and neutering (no such thing as an "accidental" litter).
