The following dogs are waiting for a home at the Dog Adoption and Welfare Group (DAWG). DAWG is a private, non-profit, no-kill dog rescue organization, owned and operated by volunteers, serving the lost and abandoned dogs of Santa Barbara. The kennels are located at 5480 Overpass Rd (off Patterson Avenue just beyond the County Shelter).

All dogs are on K9 Advantix flea/tick/mosquito protection, are spayed/neutered, have all current shots, a HomeAgain microchip, and come with new adopter consultation with DAWG's trainer if needed.

Adoption Hours: Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays: 12:00 pm - 5:00 pm., other times by appointment. Dogs can be viewed every day during business hours. For more information, email: dawgnsb@yahoo.com, call (805) 681-0561 or visit the Web site.


The Paw Wall

Volunteers Needed

Immortalize your dog by placing his/her paw print on a ceramic tile which you can personalize with lots of colorful paint. The tile is then placed on the "Paw Wall" at the DAWG Shelter. All proceeds go toward more kennels for shelter dogs. Call 2000 Degrees at (805) 882-1817 for more information. For information on becoming a DAWG volunteer, please send an email message to dawgnsb@yahoo.com or call (805) 681-0561.
