Both Ventura County Animal Services and Santa Barbara County Animal Services are
renowned for their tireless efforts in animal welfare and have consistently strived to promote
responsible pet ownership. This joint initiative serves as a testament to their shared vision of
finding forever homes for as many animals as possible. By collaborating and pooling their
resources, both organizations aim to ensure that every eligible individual or family can find their
perfect companion without the financial burden of an adoption fee.
This fee-waived pet adoption event applies to all animals over one (1) year of age. It is
important to note that while there will be no adoption fee for these animals, there may be a
nominal license fee depending on the city in which the adopter resides. This fee will help
ensure that each adopted pet receives the appropriate licensing, vaccinations, and
identification, in compliance with local regulations. All interested parties must participate in the
full adoption process to ensure the best possible matches are made. All animals leave the
shelter spayed or neutered, vaccinated, flea-treated, and microchipped.
For more information about the pet adoption event, including adoption hours, adoption process,
and shelter locations, please visit the websites of Santa Barbara Animal Services
