Adoptable Pet of the Week

Chiquita is a sweet, gentle, beautiful Pit Bull mix who was abandoned at the Santa Barbara County animal services shelter. Chiquita is very sweet, gentle, well behaved, and has a nice easygoing energy level. She is spayed, about 3 ½ years old, and weighs about 53 lbs. Chiquita loves being a companion dog and she loves riding in the car. She enjoys the company of other dogs and would likely be able to live with a cat. Chiquita had really nasty eye mass when she arrived at the shelter, but she has since had surgery provided by K-9 PALS to remove it, and she is healing up nicely now. Chiquita is just waiting for a kind and loving person or family to adopt her and give her the good life and forever home that she very much deserves.

K-9 PALS (K-9 Placement and Assistance League, Inc.) is an all-volunteer nonprofit 501C3 no-kill organization. K-9 PALS provides veterinary care, training, rescue, foster, adoption, and advocacy for homeless and abandoned dogs from Santa Barbara County shelters and other shelters in central and southern California. All K-9 PALS donations go directly to benefit the dogs, to save lives and reduce the number of abandoned and homeless dogs in shelters.

K-9 PALS has monthly Adoption & Community Outreach events every First Saturday at Pet House, monthly adoption days at Petco 5 Points, and other special adoption events throughout the year. Check K-9 PALS website or Facebook page for events.

K-9 PALS provides four free dog behavior-training sessions for people who have adopted a dog from any shelter, rescue group, or humane society. So when you adopt a dog, contact K-9 PALS if you want to take advantage of this great offer.

If you are not looking to adopt, consider being a donor or volunteer for K-9 PALS to help us in our mission to provide care and services for homeless and abandoned dogs in our communities.
