August Hoppy Hour
Our next Hoppy Hour is Saturday, August 20 from 1:30 PM to 3:30 PM. Bring your fuzzy friend and give them an opportunity to socialize with other rabbits! Socialization is a very important part of overall rabbit welfare, and a Hoppy Hour is the perfect opportunity to let your bunny play with others.
Hoppy Hour will take place on the Humane Society Lawn, at 5399 Overpass Rd, Santa Barbara, CA 93111. Admission is $10 per rabbit. All animals must be healthy and rabbits must have been spayed or neutered at least 30 days in advance.
We'll be providing light refreshments for both you and your bunny, so please join us for an afternoon of fun!

September Pignic
Mark your calendars and bring your Guinea Pigs to our September 18 Pignic!
What’s a Pignic? Pignics give your Guinea Pig a chance to play with other Guinea Pigs. Boars and sows will have their own pens for supervised play. If you'd like, you may bring your own set up for individual play, so your pig can see the others from their own pen.
The Pignic will take place on the Humane Society Lawn, at 5399 Overpass Road, from 1:30 - 3:30. Admission is $10 per Guinea Pig and includes a health check. All animals must be healthy. Nail trims will be available for $5.00.
Join us on our Facebook Pignic page for the latest news!
