Animal Shelters in Santa Barbara, CA

The nearest other city with listings is Goleta, about eight miles away. Somewhere on this list is a Santa Barbara dog or cat who would much rather be at your place.
Santa Barbara has six listed at the moment, and they are shown above with the ones that have photos first.
A mix of both, and the difference is worth knowing before you set out. A rescue usually places animals from a network of foster homes rather than from premises you can walk into, so you generally arrange a meeting first. A shelter or humane society more often has a facility you can visit during opening hours.
The Santa Barbara listings all fall in Santa Barbara County, which is worth knowing if you are checking whether a shelter takes animals from your area.
If nothing here suits, Goleta, Santa Ynez and Solvang all have listings within about 27 miles. Each one links through from the sidebar.
Every listing here carries a phone number, and most link to the organization's own website. Calling ahead is worth it — opening hours change, and rescues often work by appointment rather than keeping a building open.
