Had to bring in a blind cat I found. Everyone there was so kind and caring. They do an amazing job helping animals.

Worst shelter bar none. You cannot just show up and ask to see an animal for adoption. You have to make an appointment but....No one to talk to on the phone to make that appointment!! Wanted to adopt a dog but can't because NO ONE EVER ANSWERS THE PHONE!!!! And you need an appointment to look at any potential adoptees. How can you make an appointment when you do not even answer your phone? I feel bad for the animals they keep locked up because these people do NOTHING to help them become adopted.

What do you recommend doing to silence a neighbor's dog that constantly barks?

Bat Masterson | Jul 26, 2022
Sparky | Jul 26, 2022

I've had this happen with two separate neighbors. It was occurring because they were left alone so I asked the neighbor if I could go in the yard and play with them and give them treats. But be sure to ask since so many dogs have health issues and allergies now. Good luck.

Michelle Cortes | Sep 24, 2021

Why is the public and not the shelter itself answering these very important questions? Animals are living beings!! The shelter in Santa Maria has a poor rep. Years back the person who lived on the property, in the back trailer got arrested, charged, & went to prison for barrels of cooked methamphetamines on that same property! Covid is just another reason to be used as why the placed is not run well.

How can I foster an animal

Arelynn Solis | Sep 25, 2019
Melissa Sneed | Sep 25, 2019

If you would like to be a foster parent, go in to the animal shelter and ask when their next foster parent seminar is. It's a couple hour long class with the foster corridater and then she'll call you when your desired foster animal is in need of you.

Do you offer snake avoidance training for dogs? If not would you know who does?

Greg Dewitt | Sep 25, 2019
Scotty 2 Scoops | Sep 25, 2019

I know the one on foster road don't. My best bet would be to to the humain shelter on stowell. The animals are trained to know hand signals and commands.

Google questions probably isn't the right place to be asking all this. I would actually go to the shelter and look at the dogs they have there or at least call the shelter. This dog is going to be a member of your family for a very long time, so you need to make sure you're getting the right one. If you aren't will to do those things I'd recommend reconsidering whether you are ready for a dog. Remember this isn't just picking up a new phone, it's a living animal.

Are you guys selling baby bunnies???

Angie Hernandez | Sep 25, 2019
Lex Oliphant | Sep 10, 2022

my suggestion is to not buy any baby bunnies for Easter, instead if you are interested to get one, they have many young bunnies at the shelter that are very sweet in need of a good home

When do they give free vaccination shots for dogs?
