Permission to crosspost Subject: A way you can assist our four legged friends- SBCACF Animal Disaster Relief Fund During times of disaster, many people watch in horror as they witness the culmination of another's life lost or changed forever in just a few short moments. Our heart swells and our mind focuses on the loss, as we find ourselves glued to the radio, TV, or internet to monitor what is taking place. Santa Barbara County's common response is one of community spirit and assistance to those who have been affected most by the disaster. The Santa Barbara County Animal Care Foundation started a Disaster Fund after the Tea Fire, to assist our four legged friends who were injured in the fire. Through community partnership, we were able to pay out $4,900.00 in veterinary expenses for local pets burned and/or injured in the fire. If you are looking for a way to help, and would like to donate to a local, countywide animal organization with a disaster fund that is supportive of all companion animals, visit our website at www.sbaanimalcare.org and make a donation to the SB CACF. If you would like your donation to be restricted for disaster victims only, please designate this on your donation and refer to the our "Animal Disaster Relief Fund". Our heart goes out to all of our fellow two and four-legged citizens who are suffering, in some way, because of the Jesusita Fire. You are in our thoughts.
