Animals in Need Fund Program with CARE4Paws

05/30/2026

There’s still time! Donations to our Community Cares Campaign will be matched through March 31st at 11:59 PM 💙

Please keep sharing. We’re so close to helping even more animals and pet families in need. Every day we receive calls for help, and it is because of this caring community that C.A.R.E.4Paws is able to show up with real solutions.

From our mobile veterinary team serving communities across SB and SLO Counties to the families reaching out for support, this work is only possible because people like you stand with us.

Pets like Matilda, Harper, River, Lyluh, Scout, Scooby, Oslo, Fancy, Bubby, Sisi, Bella, Thor, Max, Lulu, and Peppa are just a few we have been able to help in recent weeks. Each one is deeply loved, with families doing everything they can.

Let’s keep going. We’re so close.

Dakota’s wonderful foster family will be out of town for a few days in June and July, and we’re hoping to find her a cozy place to stay while they’re away. Because boarding/kennel environments make her extra anxious, we’d love to avoid that if at all possible.

If you’re a fan of naps, walkies, Netflix binges, and having a sweet companion by your side, Dakota is ready to be your perfect temporary roommate. She’s looking for a snuggly, loving place to crash:

* June 5–8
* July 24–30

Dakota will happily keep you company while you relax, recharge, and catch up on your favorite shows. 💛

Who doesn't like good news on a Tues???

Sisters Eleanor & Louise have left the café! A wonderful family fell in love and welcomed them into their hearts and home soon after.

From the fields of New Cuyama to a life filled with love and adoration. 💜

Huge thanks to the Caffeinated Cat Café for providing these shy girls with patience and TLC during their stay there. This is what it's all about.

Help us welcome these sweet FURiends, with just a *tiny* dash of spicy, to the Animals In Need Fund Program! 🐾🌶️

These fab five came to us from Cuyama, and thanks to a wonderful new foster family who signed up with us just last week, we were able to say, “abso-freakin-lutely” to helping them.

Jubilee, her husband, and their housemate have already showered these little ones with oodles of TLC at a time they needed it most. Simply put, we could not save lives like these without our incredible foster team members.

If you’ve been thinking about becoming part of something truly wonderful, this is your sign.
