My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Meet Dante, our charming Australian Kelpie mix! This bundle of energy is a true delight to be around. With a happy-go-lucky demeanor, he`ll bring a smile to your face every day. He`s bursting with enthusiasm and loves nothing more than to shower his human companions with affection.

This lively pup is always on the go! Whether it`s a game of fetch in the backyard or a long walk in the park, he`s eager to burn off his energy and explore the world around him. He`s the perfect companion for an active family who enjoys outdoor adventures.

Fetch is this pup`s favorite game! However, he sometimes forgets the `bring it back` part. But don`t worry, his enthusiasm makes up for it. He`s always up for a game of chase or tug-of-war, and he never turns down an opportunity to play with his favorite toys.

Dante is searching for a forever home with a loving family who can keep up with his energetic spirit. A fenced yard would be ideal for him to safely burn off his excess energy. He thrives on attention and would do best in a home where he`ll receive plenty of love and companionship.

More about this shelter

Volunteers needed now. Are you an animal lover, do you have a couple of hours each week to volunteer? Many opportunities available. Work with dogs, cats, bunnies, office work, fostering and more. For more details on volunteering contact Michelle Maltun at (805) 345-5741.

We care for stray and homeless animals, including cats, kittens, dogs, puppies, rabbits and other animals such as chickens, guinea pigs or iguanas. We always hope the family will come to reclaim their lost pet, but if not, we work to find a loving new family for them.

We ensure that dogs are current on their rabies vaccination and license.

At Animal Services, our goal is to ensure that all the animals in our County have a safe place to live. We work hard to find loving homes for the many dogs, cats, rabbits and other animals that come into our care. Together, with community partners and concerned citizens, we are making sure that all these animals have a "Forever Home!"
