We take in owner-relinquished animals only. Santa Barbara City Animal Control and Santa Barbara County Animal Services are governmental, tax-supported agencies. They enforce state laws and local ordinances that pertain to animals and pick up stray, lost or abandoned animals. Stray animals are taken to the shelter located at 5473 Overpass Road, adjacent to the Santa Barbara Humane Society.
