‼️Santa Barbara county friends!‼️I’m trying to help someone find a home for their horse. You can contact Denise Kittle Weniger for more info as she is in contact with the owner. Here is his description!

“May I present Lark, full QH, 10 year old gelding! Around 16hh tall(need to re-measure to be sure)stout and stocky! Barefoot! Although Lark is a sweet soul he needs an experienced rider who knows how to read horses and be a little bit of a step ahead sometimes!;)he needs to know who's boss otherwise he will boss you around! That being said when the connection is found, there will be an equal level bond established! he has rascal streak in him that when not handled correctly can escalate over time as he will take advantage of some riders/handlers weaknesses presented! He is on the lazy side but but will walk, trot and canter without a problem! Rocking horse canter, so nice! Hes a big mover! Rides ba****ck in a halter at all gates if that's what somebody likes! The reason for him being sold is he became to much horse over time for his current owner, who he unfortunately kicked and bucked off due to being a beginner rider and lack fo certain horse knowledge, hendse needing an experienced rider! When Lark was purchased we later found out he had EPM which we since then have successfully treated but he still has a little bit of a week hind end and is a tad bit heavy on the forehead coming down hills! EPM was diagnosed over 2 years ago! He is feeling great now and has become stronger and blossomed and much more horse than the owner wants to deal with! He also seems to like woman more than men! He would make a great fit for someone younger and wants to have an easy but still fun trail horse that will be a little challenge here and there! Rehoming fee of $1000😉 For more specific information you can contact Denise Kittle Weniger over Facebook messenger!”

‼️‼️Home needed‼️‼️

I was asked to help find a home for a very sweet dog named scout! This is the description👇🏼

“Hi Ginny, Scout is such a lovey dog looking for a great home. My colleague Terrys brother adopted this dog but unfortunately he is unable physically and mentally to care for the dog in the ways he needs. He loves to play, does well with all kids, people and dogs! Loves to go on walks and run around as well, as he can be energetic at times. Scout is currently in Santa Barbara!”

‼️❤️My vet hospital has reached about to me about finding a home or foster for a cat who was surrendered to them a while back!‼️❤️
Here is what they wrote about her and some pictures:

We are still actively trying to find a new forever home for sweet beautiful Sasha, who was relinquished to San Roque Pet Hospital. She’s a very sweet 10 year old grey kitty with lots of love to give. She is up to date on her wellness exam and vaccines, and is currently on a renal diet. She would be happiest in a home with no other pets and a human with previous cat experience. She loves head kisses and cuddles and enjoys playing with toys. She likes to sit in the sun and is very vocal. She’s really just looking for a loving companion to live out the rest of her days with.
Please contact Kacey at [email protected] if you are interested in fostering / adopting her or if you know anyone that fits the profile of a forever home for her!

Helping a friend try to network some dogs in desperate need of a foster or forever home!! This was the description she gave me:

We need a miracle! About a month ago 2 female pitbulls were dumped at a vet clinic in LA with the directive to be euthanized. No reports of any behavior issues. I helped facilitate them coming to SB, but there's no foster group backing them. One is 8 (Stella) and one is 6 (Mitzy). We tried one foster in IV, but her landlord said "nope," and we needed a new plan. They are separated now and doing well, but the new plan was temp at best and time has expired. Taking them to county or humane society is complicated since they are not strays or even owner surrenders. They were someone's pets though, and are total house dogs.

*Stella (white and black):Stella is a very loving dog who definitely has a huge heart as soon as she gets to know you.Although she’s rather shy, specifically with large men, she does warm up immediately after smelling them and recognizing who her friends are. Stella needs a lot of reassurance right now, but is also very obedient and has been getting trained on walks as well to behave correctly with others and their dogs.She is crate trained and definitely understands when to be obedient and when to play and has no problem being an active dog.She is a dominant dog and best as solo dog. She needs some basic leash training for walks because she pulls.

*Mitzy (dark brown): Mitzy is a very sweet and submissive dog.She is well mannered and house trained, but can be scared of new people so she needs some time to get comfortable. Once comfortable, Mitzy is the most loyal and lovable dog in the world. She is very cuddly and loves to snuggle with you in bed every night.She is uncertain what's happening to her, so at times she can be very jumpy and alert, and feel sad when you leave.Once she feels secure in your home, she will likely feel comfortable when left alone. She needs some basic leash training for walks because she pulls.

If you are interested but are not sure about your landlord I can help explain housing rights if you have an ESA letter to support your request to have a dog. We are running out of options for these beautiful girls who did nothing wrong to be in this situation.

Can anyone give this beautiful dog a home? The owner is being forced to rehome because he cannot find appropriate housing that allows dogs in Santa Barbara unfortunately. The housing market is so discriminatory for pet owners!
She is a 12 year old boxer/terrier mix. Great with people but not so great with other dogs. Her name is Sheva🖤🐶

This cute lil guy from my last post is still for adoption! I’ve named alex for the time being☺️He is very sweet and mellow but has deformities in his legs. We are not sure what from but most likely MBD(metabolic bone disease). This does not effect him in any way other than he looks a little funny and a little different than the others🤓
If you’re interested in adding alex to your family then reach out to me!🦎

I rescued this little fellow and he is now for adoption! He has a bit of a mangled leg and we are not sure what happened to it but he still gets around just fine. Leopard geckos make awesome pets as they’re fairly straight forward in their care and tend to have low stress and relaxed demeanors.
Let me know if anyone is interested in this guy!!

Well here is Kilo!
I had posted about kilo a little bit ago because she needed a home and I was trying to help someone out but I ended up taking her in and came to find out when we took her to the vet that she has a malignant tumor on her thyroid gland among many other issues she is battling. Unfortunately she hasn’t been given the care that she has needed for the last few years because her owner was very old and unable to give her proper medication, etc. she’s much older than we were initially told and due to her age and other issues she is not a candidate for radiation so we’re giving her hospice care at this point.... she is still so happy so be here and we’re managing her symptoms with meds. She is just here to comfortably live out her days so we’re waiting until she lets us know that it is time😞🐱

Mr. Goat who I still am having a hard time naming is doing great! Walking a lot more on that leg and a lot of the swelling has gone down. Still needs to have his hooves balanced out with a secondary trim but that will come with time ☺️

The feral kitty “tape” I’ve been helping take care of has gotten SO much better🖤she is gonna make someone a great companion!🐱

Well I rescued a goat with a potentially broken leg this afternoon. He was in a pasture with full sized horses and was trampled.... poor guy is so confused and in a lot of pain. Hoping I can get more answers when the vet is out tomorrow!

Well here is the newest rescue— “Oklahoma” aka Annie Oakley! I rescued this sweet 22 year old tabby a couple days ago from a shelter. Yes—you read that right, 22 years old!! She was extremely stressed out and upset in the shelter environment to the point where she was aggressive. When we brought her home she immediately warmed up to us and jumped on the bed to cuddle which never happened in the shelter. This really goes to show that you can’t judge an animal by their personality in a shelter because it can be completely different when you bring them home. The shelter had pretty much thought it was a lost cause in adopting out such an old cat. Miss Annie won’t be for adoption and will just get to live out her days with me and my crew🐱🖤

GRAPHIC WARNING⚠️ I know not everyone likes to see mice getting eaten(this was an already dead mouse, wasn’t fed live) but I am SO happy!!! For anyone who remembers, this is diki! This is his very first meal self feeding!! I was so happy to see this you have no idea😭 I think he may still have permanent damage in his legs and neurological issues but the fact that he is able to self feed and not have to be syringe fed every day is so amazing🖤I am so proud of this giant lizard! 

I recently took in this little female rat who seems to have some major breathing issues! Sound on to hear her breathing. She has a vet appointment Wednesday so hopefully we’ll be able to help this girl be more comfortable🖤

I was asked to take these guys in but I can’t right now—we are pretty full at the rescue. Is anyone interested in these cuties? They were dumped by someone at the beach! EDIT: adopted!

For those who don’t know, we took in 2 disabled chickens recently and one of them couldn’t use either legs(the one in the video) and the other couldn’t use just one of its feet which I’m trying to correct with corrective bandaging. The one pictured here was completely immobile before I made her this little cart and she would rest her entire body sideways which could impact her breathing, according to the vet. I’m hoping this cart will help her stay mobile when I’m not home and help her stand up some extra hours during the day. It’s definitely not finished and it’s not perfect, this was just the “rough draft” and I will continue tweaking it to make it more comfortable and convenient. Just had to share this video! What do you guys think? Is it cute or what?🤣🐓❤️ - - - - #animalrescue #ahimsarescue #rescuechicken #disabledchicken #animalwheelchair #vegan #vegetarian #disabled #rescueanimal #chicken #livestock #chickensofinstagram

Is anyone looking to adopt some ducklings?

Bear at his foster home! He’s coming out of his shell SO much! He’s just begging for a forever home!🖤🙏🏼 Bear was found as a stray and picked up by animal control and dropped off at Moreno Valley Animal Shelter. He was set to be euthanized the day we pulled him from the shelter. Bear is a 7(ish) year old GSD mix. He ADORES people! He hasn’t met a person he doesn’t love. He also gets along great with other calm dogs(big or small) as well as cats, rabbits, birds and more. Bear does have hip dysplasia that is currently being aided with daily pain meds and a “help me along” harness. Other than his hips, Bear is in great health. He had a full physical exam as well as a full senior blood panel indicating all his internal levels are normal. Bear would do best in home with low to medium activity. Since he is older, he would love to just be someone’s companion and have someone to hangout with. He never barks too and is happy just hanging out wherever he is. He could hangout in a yard all day when you’re at work and still be happy. Anything is better than being on the streets or in a shelter!

A short tango video for those who have messaged me asking about an update. He’s doing great🖤🦜

About Us

The name Ahimsa comes from the Sanskrit meaning of non-violence and peace to all creatures.

Here at Ahimsa Animal Rescue, we are driven by a single goal; to save as many animals in need as possible. We do not discriminate. Reptiles, amphibians, small rodents, rabbits, large mammals and more.

In order to keep rescuing, we must adopt out as well. Adoptions are a major part of running this operation smoothly! However, some animals unfortunately cannot be adopted out due to medical conditions or specific disabilities and will live out their days here at the rescue. On the other hand, animals who are given a clean bill of health will go up for adoption to the public as soon as possible with an application approval and small rehoming fee.

With our organization’s mission always in mind, we strive to find new strategies for dealing with the challenge of educating the public. Through social media and community outreach we focus on educating the next generation of pet owners on proper animal husbandry. Consider making a tax-deductible donation to let us continue rescuing! Contact us to learn more about what you can do to help or donate to our mission.
