Santa Barbara County Animal Services (SBCAS) has expanded its operating hours across all three shelter locations. This purpose is to allow pet lovers more time to visit, adopt, and participate in a variety of services offered by the shelter. SBCAS’ three shelter locations, situated in Santa Barbara, Santa Maria and Lompoc, will offer extended hours from Tuesday through Sunday, between 10:00 AM and 6:00 PM. Please note that the shelters will be closed on Mondays and holidays to ensure staff and animals receive essential care.

The expanded hours will offer a wide range of walk-in services, including:

• Pet Registration and License Renewal: Ensure your pet is properly registered and compliant with local regulations.
• Free Microchips: Safeguard your furry friends by providing them with a secure and traceable identification.
• Adoptions: Find your perfect companion among the many loving animals awaiting their forever homes.
• Foster Matchmaking: Become a foster parent and help animals in need, or find a temporary home for your pet.
• Pet Pantry: Access donated resources to support your pet’s needs.

SBCAS is also excited to announce more opportunities for community members to get involved. Training sessions were held in October, but if you are interested, call 833-422-8413 to learn more.
