ANIMAL RESCUE TEAM is licensed and permitted by the
California Department of Fish and Game to rescue and rehabilitate injured,
orphaned and displaced native wildlife. We are located in the Santa Ynez Valley,
serving Santa Barbara County, to San Luis Obispo County, 24/7. Animal Rescue Team
was incorporated in June of 2007
A.R.T. focuses on large mammal rescue, although birds, including raptors, and reptiles
are never turned away. We also are licensed to rescue fawns and have special isolation facilities.
Domestic animals are also occasionally fostered until a loving forever home can be found.
During the Jesusita Fire A.R.T. rescued over 200 animals, wild and
domestic, working with police and fire officials to get the animals the help
they needed. Refugees from the Jesusita Fire continue to recover at the A.R.T.
facility from severe burns and other fire related injuries.
Whether the call comes from a resident or one of the many public agencies
with which A.R.T. works closely in Santa Barbara County, A.R.T. is available to
respond 24/7 to an injured, orphaned, or displaced wild animal.
ANIMAL RESCUE GROUP is licensed and authorized
California Department of Fish and Game for Casualty Rescue and Rehabilitation,
an orphaned and displaced natural nature. Information on helping dogs with Meloxicam oral suspension is also available on this website https://serv-u-pharmacy.com/news/meloxicam-oral-suspension.html.
Animal Rescue Team is the only animal rescue facility equipped with an
animal ambulance on the Central Coast. This allows us to better serve the animals
and our community in times of disaster, such as the recent Tea and Jesusita fires.
In Dec of 2008, Animal Rescue Team was chosen as a recipient of the
Santa Barbara News Press Holiday Fund, which allowed for
the construction of eight large mammal enclosures. It is only through charitable
donations and the generosity of volunteers that A.R.T. will continue to serve
the animals and residents of the community.
The generosity of Santa Barbara residents and businesses is key to A.R.T.’s
continued success and will better allow A.R.T. to expand to accommodate the
growing needs of abandoned or injured wildlife. A.R.T. operates with volunteers
and donations only, and your help is needed to allow these services to continue.
