“Normally holiday shoppers are waiting in line to get into stores on Black Friday. At seven area animal shelters, our adorable dogs and cats are in line to get out of the animal shelter and into loving homes just in time for the holidays,” said Sean Hawkins, Executive Director for Santa Maria Valley Humane Society. “With fires raging in Los Angeles and Venture Counties, our shelters are completely filled with relocated pets in an effort to help make room for evacuees.”
“This is the first time that all of the area county and non-profit organizations have combined forces to place homeless dogs and cats with new families,” according to Dori Villalon, Acting Director for Santa Barbara County Animal Services. “Animal homelessness impacts the entire county and collaborating draws attention to the immense need in our communities.”
“We are delighted to work with our partner organizations to help find these wonderful animals homes as we enter the holiday season,” adds Kerri Burns, Executive Director for Santa Barbara Humane Society. “However, we’re still maintaining our rigorous adoption standards and follow-up procedures to make sure every pet is placed into the perfect home.”
“We can’t help but give thanks, and acknowledge how grateful we are to all the loving and caring families that have already given our animal companions their forever homes. You too can add more joy and love to your life by adopting a new furry family member,” adds Beck Morrill, Operations Supervisor for Animal Shelter Assistance Program. “ASAP is delighted to help make many holiday wishes come true for both our animal and human companions.”
Every dog and cat being made available for adoption this weekend is examined by a veterinarian, spayed or neutered and vaccinated. Every pet goes home with a free supply of Purina® or Hill’s® dog or cat food to help get the animals off on the right start in their new homes.
All dogs and cats available for adoption are viewable on each organization’s web site. Contact individual organizations for more information about specific pets.
