On Saturday May 21, C.A.R.E.4Paws took part in the grand opening event at Valley Pets in Buellton alongside local rescue groups, shelters, vet clinics and pet service providers. Another big draw was the low-cost vaccination and microchipping clinic with Vet's Here and Santa Barbara County Animal Services. A great day with lots of people and several dog adoptions!

Happy tails to Patches, who got adopted at the event after nearly three years at the Santa Barbara county shelter. Patches, we'll miss you but hope you have loads of fun on your 40-acre ranch. You deserve it!
