April Orientation Schedule Now Available

Do you have a passion for animals and a desire to make a meaningful impact in your community? Santa Barbara County Animal Services (SBCAS) is seeking dedicated volunteers to support our mission of providing compassionate care to animals in need. Whether it is walking dogs, socializing cats, assisting with cleaning, or helping with administrative tasks, volunteers play a crucial role in the success of our shelters.

To ensure that all volunteers are well-prepared, SBCAS requires participation in a mandatory orientation session before beginning their service. The April Volunteer Orientation Schedule was just released, providing opportunities for interested individuals to complete the necessary training and get started on their volunteer journey. Volunteers must be able to commit at least 6 hours per month. There are two orientations at the Santa Barbara Shelter (5473 Overpass Road, Goleta): Friday, April 11 and Friday, April 25 from 3:00 – 4:00 p.m. For orientation dates at the Lompoc and Santa Maria Shelters, see the flyer below. Spots are limited, sign up here to reserve your space: https://tinyurl.com/5n8fy2y2.

Volunteering with SBCAS is a rewarding experience that allows individuals to make a tangible difference in the lives of animals. Whether you have a few hours to spare each week or are looking for a more involved commitment, there are a variety of ways to contribute. Volunteers not only provide essential care and enrichment for shelter animals but also help improve their chances of finding loving homes by giving them positive interactions with people.

If you have ever considered giving your time to help animals in need, now is the perfect opportunity. SBCAS looks forward to welcoming new volunteers and working together to improve the lives of shelter pets.
