Story
Hi! My name is Alfie and I’m at the Santa Barbara Campus. I’m a 3 year old male Maltese who is eager for a new home! Interested in meeting me? Adoption Centers are open daily 12-4:30pm, closed Wednesdays. Adoptions are on a first-come first served basis. For more information please email Adopt@SBHumane.org or call 805-964-4777. When I am adopted, I will have been spayed or neutered, vaccinated, and microchipped. My adopters will receive a certificate for a free veterinary exam and our partners at Purina will provide a supply of food for my first few days at home.

We are opening the application process for BERNARD This kid a 6/mo old, 8 pound, pure bred Maltese. He was a purchased dog. Unfortunately Bernard's owner decided a puppy was more than she could handle, so we brought this kid into rescue. Bernard is an awesome puppy with lots of puppy energy. He has done extremely well with dogs (big and small), babies/toddlers, cats. Though this kid does have a tendency to resource gaurd and would do best with someone or a family that has experience with training or willing to learn. The VERY first step is completing an application on-line.
