Santa Barbara County Animal Services (SBCAS) is participating in this month’s national Empty the Shelters campaign with an event called One Hundred Happy Tails, designed to find 100 pets loving new homes.
To that end, SBCAS will waive 100% of adoption fees at all three of its shelter locations — Santa Barbara, Santa Maria and Lompoc — through May 15.
Thanks to the support of BISSELL Pet Foundation, adoption fees for cats, rabbits and dogs will be fully covered, SBCAS said.
“There’s no better time to open your heart and home to a new best friend,” said Sarah Aguilar, Animal Services director. “Through the Empty the Shelters campaign and the generosity of BISSELL Pet Foundation, we’re making it easier than ever for families to adopt.
“Every adoption during this event helps us save more lives and create one hundred new happy stories.”
All pets adopted during the promotion will be spayed or neutered, microchipped and vaccinated.
While adoption fees are covered, a license fee may be applicable, and donations to support shelter animals are urged to help SBCAS continue providing care to thousands of pets each year.
Interested adopters can visit any of SBCAS’s three locations during open hours or view available pets online at www.sbcanimalservices.org.
