So happy there is a wildlife rescue in the area. Not often the case. If you find an injured wild…read moreanimal in Santa Barbara or Ventura County, please get in touch with them for advice. Check out their website for more information. Donate money if you can. If you are at a state park, find a park employee to help you. They can send out a ranger to assist. Keep an eye out for sea birds in distress. This area has algae blooms that make them birds ill and natural oil seeps that coat their feathers. Or if you see any birds ensnarled in fish line/lures! The wildlife rescue can help these birds. Please contact them. They have volunteers they can send out. If you find an injured animal in your yard you can also bring it in yourself. Please bring in any animal that you find has been bitten or scratched by a cat even if they seem okay because cat saliva can be deadly to them. Also birds that hit windows may seem to recover only to die later of internal injuries. Bring them in for evaluation. You can also volunteer with them. See their website for more information.

DO NOT ADOPT FROM HERE IF YOU HAVE A HEALTHY CAT IN YOUR HOME. We were taking advantage of and…read morelied to by Leslie... We have a cat that has never had any issues (for 2 years). We went here to adopt a friend for him. The cat we adopted, she told us all he had was a scratched cornea. This was sad and all, but not anything that would affect our current, healthy cat. Next thing we know, the cat actually had (FVR - feline viral rhinotracheitis). She lied to us saying there was nothing wrong with the cat besides a scratched cornea. When we told her about the FVR she said, "Oh yea ALL my cats have it, it's very common". A few weeks later our once healthy cat is extremely sick, we spent abunch of money trying to see what was wrong with him. Extremely shady and very messed up to give a cat with health issues, that can affect your healthy cat at home.

Dr. Amy Belanger has been the best surgeon I had for tumor removals, she has taken such great care for my ratties & they absolutely love her. I can tell because they aren't scared of her sweet cooing voice, & are comfortable with her. Every tumor removal she has done has been a success, and her team is amazing. Destini, Sydney, Lanique, Destinee, Emma, (I know Im forgetting other important names) but they have all texted me & have been a HUGE support for me! I wouldn't go anywhere else, & Im SO THANKFUL for them all!

We came across the cutest puppy named Enzo and promptly submitted our application. Doris was incredibly responsive and helpful, guiding us through the process as we provided proof of our ability to care for a dog at home. We had a wonderful visit with the foster family, and to our surprise, we had Enzo home with us within just three days--much quicker than we had anticipated. Spark Rescue followed up with all the necessary medical, microchip information, and we were thoroughly impressed with everything they had done for our sweet boy. We will be forever grateful to Spark Rescue for making this experience so smooth and positive.

Arya is the best! I have the most stubborn frenchie I could've asked for and I love him to death,…read morebut he used to pull like no other when he was on the leash and always wanted to rush up to every dog or animal he saw. I initially did the 3 week board and train and Rizzy came back a different dog. I definitely had to keep up and continue with the training, and the follow up sessions with Arya helped guide us to continuing Rizzy's journey to becoming a happier and less restricted dog. Thanks to Arya, Rizzy is now able to walk with a loose leash, be in off leash areas with a good recall, and he has such better quality of life because he is able to be in public places now without always acting out. I fully trust Arya to doggy sit when I have to go out of town. So so happy with the results and definitely recommend !
