Help us create a permanent home for rescued animals

Spark Rescue Santa Barbara has been given a rare opportunity to purchase a 2.15-acre property at 10800 Calle Real—a space we envision as a permanent sanctuary for animals in need. After over a decade of rescue work, this is our chance to create a lasting home where we can save even more lives.

This property will allow us to expand our mission beyond dogs and cats to include farm animals and long-term sanctuary care. With a $2.5 million goal, we are calling on our community to help us turn this vision into reality.

Every pledge brings us closer to securing this future. Your support will provide safety, care, and second chances for countless animals—and donors of $100+ will become part of a lasting legacy at our sanctuary.

SPARK RESCUE SANTA BARBARA

Spark Rescue Santa Barbara is an all-volunteer 501(c)(3) non-profit charity animal rescue organization, founded in February 2014, in Santa Barbara, CA, by Susan Park.

WE PROVIDE

  • Rescue of cats & dogs from kill shelters and from the streets of Southern California

  • Foster homes to provide our rescues with a loving temporary home.

  • Adoption of rescued pets to qualified homes that have been properly screened and counseled by our Adoption Coordinator.

  • Rehoming of pets that are surrendered by owners who can no longer care for them.

OUR MISSION

Our Mission is to bring adoptable homeless pets that have been abused, abandoned and overbred into our program for social rehabilitation and emotional recovery and re-home them to permanent, loving homes. We hope to educate the public to help end euthanasia in Santa Barbara and Southern California through spaying and neutering and by preventing backyard breeding.

OUR GOAL

Our Goal is to acquire land and have the ability to rescue and house as many animals as possible. We would like to offer a sanctuary where the animals will be free to roam and socialize, but still be in a family environment. We want a place where potential adopters can come visit our rescues and where volunteers can come together and give the rescues as much love and attention as possible.
