Ariana

Girl

A STAR was born in late August 2025 — Ariana is one of the Pop STARs (Sisters: Taylor Ariana & Rihanna).

Ariana was rescued, along with her "Bloodline" – two sisters and several brothers, in late summer, but "Save Your Tears." This "Intro" into life was only a temporary "Problem." Ariana is ready to "Step On Up" and "Break Free" of her past.

She is "Daydreamin’" about walking "Side To Side" with her forever friend. "Everyday," Ariana will be so "Into You."

Don’t wait for the clock to "Bang Bang" again – call SBAH to set a time to meet Ariana.

“O Romeo, Romeo, wherefore art thou Romeo?”
Romeo is here! And he is waiting to go home with you to provide love and constant companionship!
Romeo is well-deserving of his name – everyone who meets this affectionate boy falls in love with him. Romeo is strong, yet gentle. He is energetic, but patient. Romeo is a handsome dog – those eyes melt hearts!

Val

Val needs YOU – right now. Foster care is urgently needed – please get in touch today!
This beautiful 9-year-old gentleman still has plenty of pep in his step and a heart full of love. He’s in urgent need of a foster carer – someone to give him safety, peace, and comfort while he recovers from some medical procedures and waits for his forever home.
Val is 22kg of pure love and gets along beautifully with other dogs – or he can be happy as the only dog in the household. However, he is not good with cats. But, he loves his people and always wants to be close.
Val would thrive in a quiet, secure garden OR an apartment with daily walks. He is calm and nonreactive, making him an excellent café companion. Val also loves the beach. He is simply an all-round great old boy.
Val just needs a break.... A warm home.... A soft place to land. Can you be the one to give him that chance?

Daisy

Daisy

Available

Female

01/09/2024

Daisy is as beautiful and gentle as her namesake flower. As a pup, Daisy was separated from her mom, abandoned, and left to fend for herself. These circumstances initially left Daisy fearful of humans and practically paralyzed with fear when brought into civilization. But with the love and patience of many SBAH volunteers, Daisy is blossoming!
Now Daisy trusts people more readily and eagerly greets her new human friends with little doggy kisses and a wriggling-with-excitement body. She is comfortable around other dogs as well, and would do well in a home with at least one other dog. The ideal home would be an apartment or a home with high garden walls (Daisy has springs for legs!). Daisy is now learning how fun it is to walk on a leash and to earn treats for her newly learned skills.
Daisy is just over one year old, weighing 12 kilograms. She is healthy, sterilized, chipped and vaccinated.
Sweet Daisy has learned that humans can be compassionate and encouraging. Would you like to show her how amazing a loving home can be?

Taylor

Girl

30/09/2025

A STAR was born in late August 2025 — Taylor is one of the Pop STARs (Sisters: Taylor Ariana & Rihanna).

Taylor was born into a "Cruel Summer" this past "August", a puppy in a "Down Bad" place. But with the help of helpful humans, Taylor is beginning to "Shake It Off". 

Taylor is a "Gorgeous" little "Lover" and her "Wildest Dreams" include creating a "Love Story" with you. We know "All Too Well" that you will be "Enchanted" with Taylor’s "Style".   Her wiggling little body says, “Pick 'ME!'”

Would you like to meet Taylor and tell her “'You Belong With Me'?”  SBAH has a "Blank Space" and we’ll write your name.

Fostering a Doggie

Santa Barbara Animal Help does not have its own kennels, but that doesn't stop us from providing the best care possible for our furry friends. Prior to adoption, we rely on the help of kind-hearted fosters to care for the dogs or keep them in a Pet Hotel with really nice facilities. 

 

Fostering is undoubtedly the better option, as the doggies get to live in a temporary home with people who care for them and prepare them for their forever homes, which gives them a better chance of adoption and success. Some doggies in our care are vulnerable, scared of people, or simply not used to living in a home. Living in a foster home with a person or family benefits them immensely. Even those that are not vulnerable will benefit greatly from such a stay, because regardless of the volunteers' involvement, shelters are shelters, and the dogs need constant love and care, as everyone else.

You may be wondering, "What's in it for me?" Well, if you cannot commit to adopting a dog for various reasons, fostering is a way to live with a dog temporarily while helping a beautiful being live a nice life before being re-homed.

At Santa Barbara Animal Help, we believe that every dog deserves a loving home. By fostering, you can make a difference in a dog's life and help them find their forever home. Join us in our mission to provide the best care possible for our furry friends.

Please, get in touch if you believe that you could foster one or more our doggies!

How Does Fostering Work?

Fosterer Gets in Touch

If you are interested in fostering any of the doggies below, please, contact us

The First Meet-up

Similar to the adoption process, we do everything to match the dog with the right fosterer, Once we are contacted by a person interested in fostering, we organise a meet-up in order for both the potential fosterer and the doggie to see if they are a good fit. 

Visit to the Potential New Home

We arrange a visit to the potential foster home to ensure that the circumstances are right. 

Fostering the Doggie

Once the fosterer and SBAH agree that everything is fine, the fosterer will sign a fostering agreement and take the dog home. Some fosterers provide everything for the dog, while others cannot. In such cases, SBAH helps with the dog's living costs. And no, the fosterer is not left on their own! We are always in touch and available at any time to help if needed.
