My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Meet Carlitos!

Breed: Neutered Male, Chocolate and White Alaskan Husky & Australian Kelpie
Age: Approximately 2 years
Weight: 50 lbs
Shelter Stay: Since December 7, 2024

Carlitos is a delightful blend of charm and spirit, waiting patiently at
the shelter for his forever home. This handsome boy, with his striking
chocolate and white coat, is as eager to connect with people as he is to
enjoy his surroundings. While he initially may take a moment to warm up,
once he does, you`ll discover an incredibly sweet companion who has
mastered the art of being a great house guest—he`s potty trained and never
makes a mess indoors! Carlitos has a unique quirk: he absolutely adores
chasing shadows! This playful habit can be redirected with love, attention,
and tasty treats. Though he doesn’t care much for toys, Carlitos truly
values companionship. He is ready to shower you with affection and joy, and
he`s just waiting for the right person to come along and see the wonderful
friend he can be.

More about this shelter

Volunteers needed now. Are you an animal lover, do you have a couple of hours each week to volunteer? Many opportunities available. Work with dogs, cats, bunnies, office work, fostering and more. For more details on volunteering contact Michelle Maltun at (805) 345-5741.

We care for stray and homeless animals, including cats, kittens, dogs, puppies, rabbits and other animals such as chickens, guinea pigs or iguanas. We always hope the family will come to reclaim their lost pet, but if not, we work to find a loving new family for them.

We ensure that dogs are current on their rabies vaccination and license.

At Animal Services, our goal is to ensure that all the animals in our County have a safe place to live. We work hard to find loving homes for the many dogs, cats, rabbits and other animals that come into our care. Together, with community partners and concerned citizens, we are making sure that all these animals have a "Forever Home!"
