He may look like a kitten, but we're pretty sure that Tommy is secretly a holiday elf, here to sprinkle magic and mischief into your life!

This three-month-old ball of fluff is ready to help you "bake" holiday cheer — whether it's kneading biscuits (he’s a professional!) or zipping around like a sneaky elf on a mission. When he's not busy with elf duties, Tommy loves curling up for chin rubs and ear scratches, purring like a cozy little fire. He's brave, playful, and full of the kind of joy that will make your holidays brighter.

If you’re looking for the cutest helper this season, come meet Tommy at Santa Barbara Humane's Santa Maria campus. He’s ready to be your partner in cookie-making and cuddling!

We are open for adoptions from 12 to 4:30 PM every day of the week except Wednesdays.

Hear ye, hear ye! A Royal Pronouncement on Duke, the Majestic Companion!

By the grace of the kingdom, let it be known that Duke, a noble and spirited 3-year-old Husky/Pit Bull mix, seeks the next chapter in his royal life. Loyal and ever joyful, Duke has proven to be a most trustworthy and affectionate companion. He has previously shared his reign with children, bestowing upon them playful kisses and boundless energy, though his exuberance may sometimes cause a gentle tumble in his quest for affection.

Though his heart is as grand as the kingdom itself, Duke does have his tender moments — he is known to be wary of fireworks and, during their grand displays, may bark and whine in protest. A noble soul, indeed, who seeks peace in the midst of such noisy revelries.

Fear not, for after his daily adventures and grand quests, Duke becomes as serene as the calmest of seas, content to lay by your side in quiet repose. His noble heart, however, requires a steadfast companion and a safe kingdom — he has lived harmoniously with both humans and fellow canines, though he must have his own bowl at the royal feast to maintain peace among his peers.

If you seek a companion of heart and vigor, Duke may be the one to join your royal court.Thus, by decree, let it be known that Duke is ready to claim his place by your side. You can meet this noble creature at our Santa Maria campus. We are open for adoptions from 12 to 4:30 PM.

Did you know that 2.3 million gallons of molasses once flooded the streets of Boston?

It's true, and while technically it has nothing to do with this sweet kitty named Molasses, we think it's an interesting fact! Also interesting is the fact that this sweet and shy one-year-old cat named Molasses is ready to flood your home with love.

Ready to make Molasses part of your family? Come meet her at our Santa Maria campus! We are open for adoptions from 12 to 4:30 PM every day of the week except Wednesdays.

Good Golly, Miss Molly!

Looking for a gentle giant to fill your heart (and your lap)? Meet Miss Molly! At 130 lbs., this 8-year-old Mastiff mix is a big bundle of love. She’s a pro at making friends with people of all ages and is convinced every lap is just the right size for her snuggles.

Miss Molly walks beautifully on a leash and has had some training under her belt. While she can be selective with her doggie pals and has a tendency to be a little too enthusiastic during introductions, a proper meet-and-greet will help ensure she’s a great fit.

If you're ready for a whole lot of love and a little extra couch space, come meet Miss Molly at our Santa Maria campus! We are open for adoptions from 12:00 to 4:30 PM.

Ok, that’s not actually true. We know that Melman is a dog. He just happens to be a dog who looks like a giraffe.

Want to take this handsome giraffe/cryptid/dog home? Come meet him at our Santa Barbara campus! We are open for adoptions from 12 to 4:30 PM every day of the week except Wednesdays.

What would your perfect day look like? For Winnie, her dream day would be spent laying in a variety of comfy beds, spending quality time being sunggled, and then feasting at some kind of cat food buffet.

Ok, Winnie knows that a cat food buffet isn't a real thing, but honestly, this sweet five-year-old girl thinks it would be a million dollar idea. She would go to Shark Tank with it, but...she's a cat. Winnie is an affable girl who is super eager to find a family to spend all her days with.

Does Winnie sound like your kind of cat? You can meet her at our Santa Barbara campus! We are open for adoptions from 12 to 4:30 PM every day of the week except Wednesdays.

Boogie is giving major “All Too Well” vibes in his iconic red scarf. Move over, Taylor Swift and Jake Gyllenhaal—this 5-year-old Chihuahua mix is the real star of the story!

Boogie is a small dog with a huge personality—he might think he’s a big dog and sometimes pushes boundaries, but that just adds to his charm. Equal parts playful zoomies and expert-level cuddles, he’s ready to rewrite his story with someone who’ll love him all too well. While Boogie loves being the center of attention, he might also be okay with a dog who can match his high energy and zest for life!

Make this love story last forever—come meet Boogie at our Santa Barbara campus and adopt him today! Through 12/31, we have reduced the adoption fees for dogs and puppies, including Boogie, to $75.

Santa paws has come early this year, and he’s brought the perfect gift—Ralph!

This handsome 1.5-year-old Labrador Retriever/Rottweiler mix is spending the holidays at our Santa Maria Campus, but what he really wants is a warm couch, a cozy blanket, and you. Ralph is the kind of dog who likes to take his time getting to know you—he’s like a cup of hot cocoa: best savored slowly. Once you’re in his circle of trust, you’ll see his true, goofy, playful self shine. Whether it’s chasing toys, zooming in the yard, or flopping over for a belly rub, Ralph knows how to bring the joy of the season!

He’s the perfect balance of sweet and silly, and if you’re patient enough to show him the ropes, he’ll reward you with a lifetime of love and loyalty.

Could you be Ralph’s holiday miracle? Stop by our Santa Maria Campus to meet this lovable guy and make his Christmas wish come true. Reduced adoption fees of $75 through 12/31 mean it’s the perfect time to give Ralph the gift of a forever family.
