Spark Rescue Santa Barbara

Available now Flower🐾

Meet Flower, our charming 1.5 to 2-year-old Poodle Terrier mix who is eagerly awaiting her forever home! After being rescued from a high-kill shelter in Southern California, she’s ready for a fresh start, and we can’t wait to find her the loving family she deserves.

Flower is not only adorable but also incredibly sweet and smart. She loves playing with toys and enjoys car rides, making her the perfect companion for your adventures. A quick learner, she’s already working on her leash skills and is excited to show off her talents! Flower gets along well with other dogs and has been introduced to cats, doing wonderfully with the right introductions.

At just 14 pounds, she’s the ideal size—small enough to take anywhere but big enough to hold her own!

If you’re interested in adopting this lovely pup, visit our website at sparkrescue.org to submit an adoption application. You can also meet Flower in person at our meet and greet event at Petco today from 1:30 to 3:00 PM, located at 3985 State Street, Santa Barbara.

🌟 A special thank you to Christy for rushing to the shelter just before closing to rescue not only Flower but also Sherman! Your dedication means the world to us, and we couldn’t do this without amazing volunteers like you! ❤️

Available Now Sherman🐾

Meet Sherman, our adorable 11-month-old Poodle Terrier mix with a personality that shines brighter than the California sun! 🌟 Rescued from a high-kill shelter in Southern California, Sherman was facing a death sentence at the shelter for having a cold, but thankfully a foster stepped up, and Spark Rescue was able to pull him and have him treated for kennel cough. Now, he’s 100% healthy and ready to steal your heart!

Sherman is a social butterfly who loves everyone he meets, eagerly greeting passersby with enthusiasm. He walks well on a leash and is fully potty trained. While he was crate trained, he’s made it clear that he’d rather be sleeping next to you or on your lap getting belly rubs. This little cutie thrives in a multi-dog home, forming close bonds not only with his humans but also with his furry friends. Sherman is always ready for fun, whether it’s playing with toys or joining you in whatever you’re up to. His affectionate nature and playful spirit make him the perfect companion!

If you’re interested in giving Sherman a loving forever home, please visit our website at sparkrescue.org to submit a dog adoption application. You can also meet him in person on Saturday, June 13, at Petco located at 3985 State Street in Santa Barbara from 1:30 to 3:00 PM. Sherman and all of our available rescues can’t wait to meet you!

Meet PP The Handsome Survivor

Found in December 2022 under the deck at Jeannine's Bakery in Montecito, this striking medium-medium/ long-haired kitty has quite the story. Desperate and crying for scraps, PP caught the attention of a compassionate waiter, Jack, who couldn’t bear to leave him there.

After some daring maneuvers to rescue him from under the deck, Jack discovered that PP had crossed a busy road to find safety. With the help of other employees, they stopped traffic just long enough for PP to scamper back to shelter under the deck, where Jack was able to corner and catch him!

Once home, Jack gave him a much-needed bath, revealing a stunning gray coat hidden beneath dirt and flea droppings.

Despite his rough start, PP was loved and cared for, receiving full veterinary attention—vaccinations, deworming, and a microchip. He quickly became part of the family, bonding with Jack’s other cats. However, as time went on, PP began asserting his dominance, leading to conflicts with Jack’s female cat.

Realizing that a one-bedroom apartment with 3 cats isn’t the ideal environment for PP to thrive, Jack made the heart-wrenching decision to find him a new home where he can flourish without the stress of other cats.

PP is now looking for a loving forever home where he can be the only feline prince! If you’re interested in adopting this handsome boy, please reach out to Spark Rescue. Let’s give PP the happy ending he deserves! 💖
If you are interested in giving this handsome boy a loving forever inside home please visit sparkrescue.org and submit a Cat adoption application. Thank you.
