“What impresses me the most about Santa Barbara Humane is their unwavering commitment to providing comprehensive support and resources for the entire community, regardless of their background or circumstances. From the moment a pet becomes a part of your family, throughout their training and wellness journey, all the way to their end-of-life care, Santa Barbara Humane is there, treating both people and animals with boundless love and care. It’s just extraordinary.
George Leis, President & Chief Operating Officer Montecito Bank & Trust

Be a Champion for the Animals and the People Who Love Them

As a local nonprofit organization, Santa Barbara Humane relies on community support to ensure cats and dogs receive affordable, high-quality veterinary care. Last year, the nonprofit provided $300,000 in free and low-cost veterinary care through its TLC program for local dogs and cats.  

“I’d love to see that figure doubled,” says CEO Kerri Burns. “We could help even more families in need and give more animals the care they require.”

Donating to Santa Barbara Humane is one of the best ways to help our community’s animals. “Every amount goes toward strengthening the human-animal bond,” Burns says.
