To improve local access to pet wellness services C.A.R.E.4Paws is rolling out its third mobile veterinary clinic to serve Santa Barbara and San Luis Obispo counties.

The official opening will be 2-5 p.m Sunday, Aug. 20 at The Maker’s Son, 346 Bell St., Los Alamos.

Guests can tour the new vehicle and learn about C.A.R.E.4Paws’ Mobile Community Medicine & Spay/Neuter Outreach program.

Music will be provided by Jesse Rhodes, and appetizers, beer and wine will be served. To learn more and RSVP for the event, visit care4paws.org/events/friendraiser.

C.A.R.E.4Paws has provided free and low-cost mobile wellness services and other resources for pet families in need in Santa Barbara County since 2009.

In 2023, the organization is on track to assist 15,000 dogs and cats with veterinary services, including spays/neuters, vaccines, dental care, medical exams and treatment for various types of infection.

“The human-animal bond is so powerful, and we want to do all that we can to help preserve that bond,” said Isabelle Gullö, C.A.R.E.4Paws’ executive director and cofounder.

“Thanks to our mobile clinics, C.A.R.E.4Paws has a steady presence in the community, assisting pet families right where they live and removing barriers that otherwise often prevent animals from receiving critical care,” she said.
