C.A.R.E.4Paws works to reduce pet overpopulation, keep animals out of shelters, and improve quality of life for pets and pet owners in need.

A 501(c)3 nonprofit founded in 2009, C.A.R.E.4Paws works in Santa Barbara County’s most underserved communities, promoting animal welfare and assisting low-income, senior, disabled and homeless pet owners with a range of critical pet wellness services. This includes free spays/neuters, low-cost vaccine clinics, affordable veterinary care and delivery of pet food. Our youth program inspires compassion for animals, while our bilingual community outreach creates awareness around critical pet care and resources available to families in need.
