"Down an unknown road to embrace my fate
Though that road may wander, it will lead me to you
And a thousand years would be worth the wait
It might take a lifetime but somehow, I`ll see it through"
We thought these lyrics were especially fitting, as Hercules would go the distance to be your side. This handsome four-year-old Husky is a total sweetheart. Hercules previously lived with children and other dogs and was best friends with a cat. He is an active boy who loves going for walks and swimming.
During the month of March, we`re waiving the adoption fees for Huskies (including Hercules) as part of our Lucky Charm promotion. A collar, leash, harness, and training classes will also be included for free!
Will you go the distance to make Hercules your new best friend? Come to our walk-in adoption hours, Friday-Sunday, from 12- 4 PM. Can`t make it during those times? Email [email protected] to make an adoption appointment today!

Q: What could be better than watching a video of an absolutely adorable kitten?
A: Helping absolutely adorable kittens and getting lots of sweet snuggles and purrs in return.
Kitten season is almost here, and Santa Barbara Humane is looking for kitten fosters! As a foster, you’ll be opening your home and heart to orphan kittens. Orphaned kittens usually require consistent love and attention that is difficult to provide in a shelter environment. There are several requirements to be the perfect foster for this type of animal. We can help you find a foster situation that will work best for you!
To learn more about fostering kittens and to apply to become a foster, please click the foster link in our bio or visit sbhumane.org/foster

He is very active and would absolutely love to find a family who enjoys exercise as much as he does. Koda isn’t a fan of other dogs, so he will need to be the only dog in a home.

Sure, pink hearts, yellow moons, orange stars and green clovers are nice, but we think a Husky makes a much better lucky charm!
And because we believe that everyone deserves a lucky charm of their own, during the month of March, we are waiving the adoption fees for the fun, funny, and absolutely adorable Huskies in our care.
Click the Adopt link in our bio to check out all the amazing lucky charm Huskies available for adoption.

If Marshmallow were a human, we`re pretty sure he would be a bodybuilder.
Like, he would for sure be the dude who talks your ear off about eating clean and all the different supplements he takes. He would also be the guy who likes to party, but not too hard, because he wants to hit the gym at 5 AM tomorrow.
But Marshmallow isn`t a human. He`s a (very buff) three-year-old American Bulldog who loves to play, go for walks, and do whatever the doggie equivalent of hitting the gym is. Basically, if you give him a toy or take him out on an outdoor adventure, Marshmallow will love you. He probably would do best as the only animal in a home, and because he is so strong, he wouldn`t be a good fit for a home with small children in it.
Does Marshmallow sound like your kind of dog? Come to our walk-in adoption hours, Friday-Sunday, from 12-4 PM or email [email protected] to make an adoption appointment today!

Whether it`s with a goofy face, a newly learned trick, or a hug, Maggie`s goal in life is to make you smile.
It`s hard to believe that until very recently, this enchanting and eager-to-please two-year-old Husky mix was roaming the streets in the Central Valley. The second Maggie arrived at Santa Barbara Humane, staff fell in love with this whip-smart, playful, and affectionate girl. And now we hope you will fall in love with her too!
And now is the perfect time to adopt Maggie because, during the month of March, we are waiving the adoption fees for huskies as part of our Lucky Charm promotion. And if you take Maggie home during this promotion, you`ll also get a collar, leash, harness, and free training classes!
Are you interested in making Maggie part of your family? Come to our walk-in adoption hours, Friday-Sunday, from 12-4 PM. Can`t make it during those times? Email [email protected] to make an adoption appointment today!

Hi, I`m Luna. I`m three-years-old , and I`m here to check in on your health.
Have you been getting your required 18 hours of sleep a day? No? Well, that`s concerning.
Well, what about exercise? Are you getting your nightly zoomies in? No? Oh, dear. That`s not good.
Oh, wait...my friends just informed me that humans don`t need that much sleep and that they don`t really get zoomies. I guess I just don`t get how humans work. Oh, well. I still think you should get more sleep. I`m prescribing you an extra hour of sleep and lots of kitty cuddles. Of course, I`ll be happy to provide those cuddles. I`d also be happy to entertain you by playing with other cats. I`d enjoy that!
Want to fill your prescription for kitty cuddles? Come to our walk-in adoption hours, Friday-Sunday, from 12-4 PM, or email [email protected] to make an adoption appointment today!
