You know what pairs well with Caramel?

Apples. Ice cream. Coffee. Brownies. Popcorn if you’re feeling adventurous.

Caramel has considered all of these and reached a different conclusion...she thinks the best pairing for Caramel is...a dog.

Specifically, a sweet, confident one who can casually demonstrate that the vacuum isn’t plotting anything, new people are usually pretty nice, and the backyard is, in fact, an excellent place to run around. At four months old, Caramel is still building her confidence, and she’d likely do best in a home with another dog who can help show her the ropes.

Caramel is a Pit Bull mix available for adoption at our Santa Barbara Campus. With a little patience, a canine role model, and people cheering her on, she’s ready to become an incredible companion.

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

“Baby, baby, baby, oh…”

Every time someone walks past her kennel without stopping, Baby quietly whispers, “Like… baby, baby, baby, no.”

She doesn’t understand why people keep acting like Justin Bieber wrote that song in 2010 when it’s clearly about the emotional journey of adopting a 5½-year-old Pit Bull from Santa Maria.

“Thought you’d always be mine.” That’s optimism.

“Baby, baby, baby, oh.” That’s manifestation.

The sunglasses? Pure pop star. The snuggles? Platinum-certified. The only thing missing is someone to finally make the chorus true.

Baby is a 5½-year-old Pit Bull available for adoption at our Santa Maria Campus. She loves to play, loves to snuggle, and is ready to become the biggest hit of your year.

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

Don’t forget! Day in the Park is happening today!

If your dog is due for vaccines, needs a microchip, or could use flea treatment, this is your reminder to head to Waller Park between 12 and 4 p.m. Our mobile veterinary team will be providing free rabies and DA2PP vaccines, microchips, and topical flea treatment for local dogs, while supplies last.

No appointment or payment is required. Walk-in services are available on a first-come, first-served basis, but you can pre-register at sbhumane.org/mobile to receive a pass that lets you move to the front of the line.

Our team will also be available to answer questions about affordable veterinary care, low-cost dog training, pet resources, and other Santa Barbara Humane programs.

To help keep everyone safe and comfortable, this clinic is for dogs only, so please leave your cats at home. All dogs must be kept on a leash.

We’ll see you at Waller Park!

Sometimes the bravest thing in the world is believing tomorrow will be kinder than yesterday.

Foofy Woogums never had a choice.

At just two months old, she came to Santa Barbara Humane with an eye that was too badly damaged to save. The only way to take away her pain was to remove it. It’s a heartbreaking thing to happen to such a tiny kitten.

These days, she’s healing. But she is also very nervous.

The world has been a difficult place for someone so small, and it shows. Foofy Woogums is shy and unsure of the world around her, and she’d love someone who understands that healing doesn’t always happen at the same pace for every heart. Right now, she’s still learning that gentle hands can be trusted, that quiet voices don’t bring bad things, and that she’s allowed to take up space without being afraid.

But beneath all of that is exactly what every kitten should get to be: gentle, curious, playful with her kitten friends, and happy to explore when she feels safe enough to do it. Foofy Woogums is a tiny soul who deserved a softer beginning than the one she was given. Maybe you can be the one to show her how kind her tomorrow can be.

Foofy Woogums is available for adoption at our Santa Maria Campus. We are open for adoptions from 12 to 4:30 PM every day except Wednesdays.
