About this organization
Mission
C.A.R.E.4Paws’ mission is to reduce pet overpopulation, keep animals out of shelters and improve quality of life for pets and pet owners in need. Founded in 2009, C.A.R.E.4Paws (short for Community Awareness, Responsibility and Education) works in underserved communities to promote animal welfare and assist low-income, senior, disabled and unsheltered pet owners with critical services. This includes free and low-cost spays/neuters, veterinary care and vaccine clinics in our mobile clinic, distribution of pet food, and support for pets of domestic violence survivors. Our youth programs inspire compassion for all living beings. C.A.R.E.4Paws helps more than 20,000 pet families annually in Santa Barbara County, and we just expanded our mobile clinic services to San Luis Obispo County.
