Donation drive-thrus

On Saturday, March 9, we’re hosting a donation drive-thru at Deckers Brands in Goleta, 10am to 2pm. Plus, our friends from Santa Barbara County Animal Services and ASAP Cats will be there with adoptable pets! Join us to support pet families in need and help dogs and cats looking for forever homes. 

Our 2023 donation drive-thru with Berkshire Hathaway Properties in Santa Barbara and Santa Barbara County Animal Services on November 4-5 brought in pet food and funds to help dozens of families in need. A big thank you to everyone who made it possible!
