C.A.R.E.4Paws provides critical services to community members in need countywide to ensure they don't have to relinquish their beloved companions to a shelter. In response to COVID-19, we distribute pet food in our mobile clinic, at special events alongside agencies such as the Foodbank of Santa Barbara County and People Helping People, and at our countywide Pet Resource Centers. We also provide Mobile Pet Meals delivery to seniors in need.
