For over a decade, this organization has been working to save beloved pets’ lives, particularly those in the marginalized areas of California\u2019s Central Coast. Their efforts have brought hope and a new lease of life to these innocent creatures.<\/p>\n\n\n

\"C.A.R.E.4Paws<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n

C.A.R.E.4Paws<\/a>, founded in 2009 in Santa Barbara, works to reduce pet overpopulation, keep animals out of shelters and improve the quality of life for pet families. It serves a range of resources to low-income, senior, disabled, and unhoused community members in underserved areas through Santa Barbara and San Luis Obispo counties.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

C.A.R.E.4Paws includes free, low-cost wellness services through its Mobile Community Medicine & Spay\/Neuter Outreach program.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIn 2023, operating out of two mobile veterinary clinics, we assisted 17,500 dogs and cats with vaccines, spays\/neuters, dental, mass removals, wellness exams, flea treatment and other critical wellness services,\u201d said Isabelle Gullo, C.A.R.E.4Paws executive director and Cofounder.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

C.A.R.E.4Paws also provides pet food, supplies, grooming, dog training and foster care for hundreds of pet families in need each year through its Companion Pet Assistance program. In addition, its Safe Haven program supports pet families exposed to domestic violence, and its Paws Up For Pets program works with local youth to inspire kindness for all living beings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

C.A.R.E.4Paws regularly gets much gratitude for their services from their clients, which are intended to provide a safety net so that animals stay healthy and with their people for life!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"C.A.R.E.4Paws<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

C.A.R.E.4Paws programs are not just growing but flourishing at a rapid pace since the pandemic. It envisions adding more clinic days and expanding its outreach geographically by operating Mobile Community Medicine & Spay\/Neuter Outreach. It will also forge partnerships with over 20 vet clinics and emergency care facilities to provide discounts. C.A.R.E.4Paws launched the Albus Fund at the end of 2023, specifically for urgent care cases, promising an exciting and hopeful future for the organization.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition, C.A.R.E.4Paws has partnered with Good Samaritan Shelter (Good Sam) to assist unsheltered pet families moving into two new pet-friendly housing facilities by DignityMoves\u2014Hope Village in Santa Maria and La Posada in Goleta\u2014as well as Good Sam\u2019s Lompoc shelter, Bridge House.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThrough the partnership, we provide mobile clinic services, pet food, supplies, animal behavior assessments and dog training. We\u2019re excited about the collaboration and the opportunity to increase our support for people and pets experiencing homelessness. This way, we help ensure that pet families stay intact as they go through critical life transitions,\u201d explained Gullo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Funding from Yardi allows C.A.R.E.4Paws to expand its pet wellness services across the Central Coast and help an increasing number of families that otherwise struggle to access care for their beloved dogs and cats.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe are so grateful for Yardi\u2019s generous gift to C.A.R.E.4Paws to support us as we assist pet families in need on the Central Coast. We could not do our work without the help of supporters like Yardi. Thank you so much,\u201d expressed Gullo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Happy Tails<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

<\/p>\n\u201cThank you for your kindness and donation of my dog JoJo’s Apoquel medication. His problem with airborne allergies can be quite severe, with him ripping his fur out and rubbing his eyes to the point of scratching his eyelids and eyeballs. My financial situation makes it difficult to pay for his medication, and when I can, I can only give it to him every other day. We are so lucky to have such a wonderful group like C.A.R.E.4Paws to help those in need. My hope is that C.A.R.E.4Paws finds kindness in return for the magnitude it gives. With gratitude, Paula and JoJo Herschede.\u201d<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Volunteer Opportunities<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

C.A.R.E.4Paws welcomes Yardi employees and the community to help with fundraising events. It can also put together an activity such as its \u201cPet food packaging pawty,\u201d where volunteers package up dog and cat foods and then distribute them to families in need. In addition, C.A.R.E.4Paws welcomes any food drives and can combine a food packaging day with a food drive. Smaller groups can also help at one of its mobile clinic events, with larger Sunday events. Those interested can contact Julia Black at julia@care4paws.org<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cC.A.R.E.4Paws is the only group on California\u2019s Central Coast to bring such a range of resources directly to pet families in underserved communities. We know that without access to affordable veterinary services and pet food, many families are forced to make the difficult decision to relinquish their pets to a shelter to ensure the animals receive essential care,\u201d explained Gullo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She continued, \u201cC.A.R.E.4Paws intervenes in this crisis by ensuring that financial difficulties, lack of transportation or language barriers don\u2019t get in the way of animals receiving the care they need to stay healthy and with the people who love them.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
