Mission and programs · 2025
Mission
SANTA BARBARA HUMANE OPERATES TWO CAMPUSES LOCATED IN SANTA BARBARA AND SANTA MARIA PROVIDING CARE FOR COMMUNITY-OWNED AND HOMELESS ANIMALS. BOTH CAMPUSES OFFER AFFORDABLE HIGH QUALITY VETERINARY CARE, COMPASSIONATE BEHAVIOR TRAINING PROGRAMS, AND A RELINQUISHMENT PROGRAM FOR OWNERS WHO CAN NO LONGER CARE FOR THEIR PETS. HOMELESS ANIMALS RECEIVE MEDICAL CARE, SHELTER, AND BASIC BEHAVIOR TRAINING UNTIL THEIR ADOPTION.
Activities or mission (Part I)
BE CHAMPIONS FOR ANIMALS AND PEOPLE WHO LOVE THEM; CREATE A HAPPY, HEALTHY COMMUNITY FOR ALL
-
VETERINARY CARE: FAMILIES UTILIZED SHELTER CLINIC SERVICES FOR CARE FOR THEIR ANIMALS FROM BASIC SERVICES LIKE VACCINES TO MORE INTENSE NEEDS LIKE ENUCLEATIONS AND AMPUTATIONS. OF THE 41,497 SERVICES PERFORMED IN 2025 AT AFFORDABLE COSTS, 5,166 FAMILIES UTILIZED THE DONOR-SUPPORTED TLC VETERINARY FUND. BECAUSE PROHIBITIVE VETERINARY COSTS ARE A COMMON REASON WHY FAMILIES RELINQUISH THEIR PETS, THIS PROGRAM ULTIMATELY KEPT ANIMALS HEALTHY AND IN THEIR HOMES.
Expenses $4,538,643 · Revenue $2,245,609
-
SHELTERING AND ADOPTIONS: OUR SHELTER RECEIVES ANIMALS FROM A VARIETY OF SOURCES: OWNER-SURRENDERS, TRANSFERS, AND STRAYS. EACH ANIMAL THAT ARRIVES REQUIRES BASIC MEDICAL CARE, AND MOST NEED STERILIZATION SURGERY BEFORE THEY CAN BE ADOPTED. A SIGNIFICANT PORTION OF OUR PROGRAM EXPENSES IS DEVOTED TO ENSURING THESE ANIMALS LIVE IN A SAFE AND HEALTHY ENVIRONMENT. OUR DEDICATED STAFF PROVIDES COMPREHENSIVE CARE, INCLUDING VETERINARY TREATMENT AND MEDICATION; BEHAVIOR ASSESSMENT AND TRAINING; NOURISHING FOOD; DAILY SOCIALIZATION, EXERCISE, AND ENRICHMENT; AND THE SUPPLIES NEEDED FOR SEAMLESS SHELTER ADOPTIONS. IN 2025, WE TOOK IN 1,024 ANIMALS SURRENDERED BY THEIR OWNERS, 960 CATS AND DOGS FROM OVERCROWDED SHELTERS ACROSS CALIFORNIA, AND 420 LOCAL STRAY ANIMALS. THANKS TO THE INDIVIDUALIZED, QUALITY CARE THEY RECEIVED AT SANTA BARBARA HUMANE, 2,223 ANIMALS FOUND LOVING HOMES IN 2025.
Expenses $2,498,733 · Revenue $296,664
-
TRAINING: OUR DOG TRAINING CLASSES ARE A VITAL 'SAFETY NET' FOR PREVENTING SURRENDERS DUE TO BEHAVIORAL ISSUES. WHEN OWNERS STRUGGLE WITH BEHAVIOR CHALLENGES, WE OFFER AFFORDABLE OR FULLY SUBSIDIZED GROUP CLASSES AND CONSULTATIONS TO HELP KEEP PETS IN THEIR HOMES. IN 2025, 778 DOGS PARTICIPATED IN THESE CLASSES AND ONE-ON-ONE SESSIONS WITH THEIR OWNERS, SUCCESSFULLY DIVERTING HUNDREDS OF POTENTIAL INTAKES AND STRENGTHENING THE HUMAN-ANIMAL BOND. OUR MANAGER OF ANIMAL BEHAVIOR, A CERTIFIED PROFESSIONAL DOG TRAINER, DEVELOPS CLASSES THAT COVER PUPPY SOCIALIZATION, BASIC MANNERS, CLASSES FOR SHY DOGS, AND STRATEGIES FOR MANAGING REACTIVITY. SHELTER DOGS ALSO BENEFIT FROM INDIVIDUALIZED TRAINING PLANS CRAFTED BY OUR BEHAVIOR & ADOPTION SPECIALISTS, USING POSITIVE REINFORCEMENT TECHNIQUES.

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those. A Schedule J breakdown is as filed: base pay, bonus, other, deferred compensation and nontaxable benefits from this organization, with any from related organizations beside each, and the filer's own total. It is shown with the Part VII listing of the same name on the same return. The form gives no key between the two, so that pairing is ours, and is marked matched by us.
