The Santa Ynez Valley Humane Society (SYVHS) was established in the early 1970s as an informal group of individuals who were concerned about the care and protection of animals in the Santa Ynez Valley.
The SYVHS shelter was built after a major fundraising campaign in 1984 and has been expanded several times over the years to serve more animals in need.
DAWG began in 1991 as a group of volunteers caring for lost and abandoned dogs impounded in the Santa Barbara County Animal Shelter.
Through the hard work, dedication and generosity of volunteers and community members, DAWG grew into an organization that placed more than 8,000 dogs into forever homes.
After DAWG’S lease was not renewed with the county in March 2020, DAWG and SYVHS determined that by combining their strengths, assets and experience, they could help more animals throughout Santa Barbara County.
Together, the two groups have been able to expand services in ways that wouldn’t have been possible separately.
