For 12 days of Winter Whiskers in December, adoptable animals are available for $12 at Santa Barbara County Animal Services (SBCAS), ASAP Cats, and Bunnies Urgently Needing Shelter (BUNS).
During the holiday season, participating organizations want to engage the community to help shelter animals find their forever home by offering 12 days of discounted adoptions.
To celebrate the 12 Days of Winter Whiskers, a new animal will be showcased each day on social media from Dec. 12-24. Additional adoptable animals can be viewed online, and the public is encouraged to shop from home for a gift for themselves and their family.
“Nationwide, the number of people adopting and fostering has skyrocketed during COVID-19 as homebound humans find companionship and comfort during these months of social isolation,” said Michelle Maltun, SBCAS community outreach coordinator.
“Now that the holidays are here with another stay-at-home order, our hope is that even more people will make their holiday season a little brighter by opening their home to a new furry family member,” he said.
With each adoption, the animal companion comes spayed or neutered, vaccinated, microchipped, ready to bring an abundance of whiskers and love to your home this holiday season.
