Santa Ynez Valley Humane Society & Dog Adoption & Welfare Group

The Mission of the Santa Ynez Valley Humane Society in partnership with Dog Adoption & Welfare Group is to serve our community by providing and promoting humane, compassionate, and conscientious care of companion animals and preventing their overpopulation, and to further the prevention of cruelty to animals and the enforcement of the laws of the State of California pertaining to the prevention of cruelty to animals.
The Vision of the Santa Ynez Valley Humane Society/D.A.W.G is to be the companion animal resource in the Santa Ynez Valley by:
providing people with the information and resources they need to raise happy, healthy, safe and socialized companion animals,
providing our community with information and resources to successfully control the population of and improve the lives of feral and domestic animals, and providing companion animals with the chance for a brighter future.

We are the only animal sheltering organization in the Santa Ynez Valley for adoptable pets.
