Extended summer hours are now in place — 10 a.m.-6 p.m. Tuesday through Sunday — at all three Santa Barbara County Animal Services (SBCAS) shelters in Santa Barbara, Santa Maria and Lompoc.
The shelters will remain closed on Mondays and county-observed holidays.
The extended hours are designed to provide the community with increased access to a variety of services, including:
• Adoptions: Find a perfect companion among the many loving animals awaiting forever homes.
• Foster Matchmaking: Become a foster parent and help animals in need, or find a temporary home for your pet.
• Pet Licensing and Registration: Ensure pets are properly registered and compliant with local regulations.
• Free Microchipping: Safeguard pets by providing them with a secure and traceable identification.
• Pet Pantry Access: Access donated resources to support your pet’s needs.
“We are excited to offer extended hours this summer to better serve our community and the animals in our care,” said Sarah Aguilar, director of Santa Barbara County Animal Services. “These additional hours provide more opportunities for adoptions, fostering, and reuniting lost pets with their caretakers.”
