Santa Barbara County Animal Services to host open houses at three shelters


Santa Barbara County Animal Services is hosting a trio of open houses at its shelters this month to showcase enhancement in operations, engage the public in contributing to the agency's work and announce the formation of a new committee.

A collaborative effort between Animal Services, local agencies and stakeholders during the last two years has facilitated new procedures and strategies being implemented at the agency that benefit the community, according to Animal Services Director Jan Glick.

"We've enhanced veterinary care for the shelter animals, updated our adoption approach and expanded animal enrichment and volunteer opportunities," Glick said. "We are excited to keep this momentum going with the new Animal Services Advisory Committee."

The new Advisory Committee will be comprised of local animal rescue organizations and community members interested in offering strategic advice for operating the county's animal services program and its three community shelters — Santa Maria, Lompoc and Santa Barbara, according to Glick.
