Val

Boy

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?

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.
