Wild West Fest 2026

WANTED

We hope y'all had a good time

The third annual Wild West Fest was held Saturday, March 14, 2026 celebrating the Santa Maria community’s dedication to animals and the people who love them. The event raised much-needed funding for the Santa Maria Campus that will allow us to place pets into homes and offer critical safety-net resources like free and low-cost veterinary care, assistance through our food pantry, affordable dog training, and more to keep pets and people together and animals out of the shelter.

Thank you to the attendees, sponsors, and gala committee members for making this event such a huge success! We look forward to seeing you again at next year’s Wild West Fest.
