(SANTA MARIA, Calif.) – The Santa Barbara County Animal Services Shelter in Santa
Maria is hoping to place 36 dogs this weekend before construction begins on a new HVAC
unit. The heating and air conditioning unit is set to be replaced on Monday and will create
challenges for animal care due to the increased noise, activity, and related stress on the
dogs. These improvements are expected to last for three weeks.
SBCAS is asking friends and neighbors to open their homes to foster a pet during
construction. The shelter provides food, supplies, and support to all foster families caring for
SBCAS pets. Additionally, the early March “Name Your Price” promotion will be continued
through the end of March 2024 at all three shelter locations:
