Heidi is around 6 months of age and needs surgery to live a full life, pain free. Most likely cause of her misaligned hips was over-crating when she was younger - probably through a few growth spurts. We are still trying to raise funds to cover the surgical expense and we are hoping for the public's support to help her. Heidi is a beautiful and very gentle German Shepherd pup who truly deserves a full life. If you would like to donate to HEIDI please click on the DONATION link above, or mail to: "Heidi's Fund" P.O. Box 2952, Orcutt, CA 93457. For adoption information please click on her photo above.

1-1/2 years after rescue Dover has found a home. Dover is the newest local TROOP GREETER and his job is to welcome Military soldiers home after being away from their families and home while keeping us all safe. We can not think of a more noble purpose or such a willing volunteer for the job. It's hard to tell who is happiest - the soldiers or Dover! We are still paying off his four surgeries and welcome donations! CLICK ON HIS PHOTO ABOVE FOR HIS STORY.

Every dog has its own unique DNA. CCSPCA provides you with a kit and very simple instructions for swabbing the cheeks of your dog and collecting your dog's DNA samples. The test is easy, painless and takes under a minute. You simply follow the instructions to send the samples and they are processed and run through a testing laboratory, which has an extensive database of certified dog breeds. All DNA matches from the unique cheek cells of your dog are recorded and you get a perfect snapshot of every breed your dog has in his or her heritage. It’s that easy! Cost for the Test Kit is $10.00, where every penny of this goes to the pets in our care. You would then follow the instructions and mail the kit to the laboratory with your $49.99 testing fee and they will send the results back within a week. If you would like to be put on the waiting list (only a few weeks at most) as soon as the kits arrive you will be contacted. Reserve your kit today!

BENEFITS OF DNA TESTING: Pet wellness is perhaps the most important part of canine ownership. Acquiring DNA breed heritage knowledge will help educate you about your dog and his or her special health and behavior traits. You can be pro-active about many of the important factors affecting the life of your dog. You will gain insight into the unique genetic background of your dog including the history of their breed, personality traits, exercise levels, and so much more! You will also learn about any diseases your dog may be predisposed to. You can discuss any of this with your vet and be proactive before any serious illness strikes.

If you are interested in reading more about Ambos Rescue, our affiliate rescue group that travels down to Mexico, please scroll down.
The Central Coast SPCA is a private, non-profit no-kill animal welfare organization dedicated to saving homeless cats and dogs, and other companion animals; to providing lifesaving care and treatment to those animals in need; to take in adoptable animals from local high-risk facilities in Santa Barbara and San Luis Obispo Counties; to help pets stay in loving homes with training and behavior classes; and to cultivate respect and awareness for the rights and needs of companion animals.
The CCSPCA does not have a physical shelter, but houses all of our animals in foster homes. If you see an animal you wish to adopt, or would like to receive information about, please email us at: centralcoastspca@yahoo.com. Because we do not have a shelter, we do not have a permanent phone number either. But if you leave a message at our email address one of our volunteers will contact you as soon as possible.
For six months out of the year one of our members, Suzann Reeve, travels to Mexico, meeting up with her friend Jean Burch, to rescue homeless dogs. They vaccinate, spay & neuter, and fix whatever health problems they can with the finances they have available and have raised for this specific purpose. When the dogs are ready for new homes they attempt to place them locally, or send them up to Tuscon to be adopted - every year they bring one or two special ones back for us to find a home for. It has been a tough road for them, and extremely grim at times with all the heartache they feel when someone is cruel to an animal. But they continue on because to stop now would be harder. They rely upon donations to keep them going - if you wish to make a tax deductible donation please send it to: Ambos Rescue, Central Coast SPCA, P.O. Box 2952, Orcutt, CA 93457.
Ambos Rescue mainly works in the San Carlos area of Mexico where they have a base of operations out of Jean's home. At times during their 6-month stint they have as many as 20 dogs flowing throughout the home - and many, many more dogs housed with various friends and acquaintances. Most of the dogs they rescue are starving, near death, and have been on their own for awhile. Some have been alone for so long that they will never be tame and Suzann and JB can only trap these dogs to spay & neuter, before turning them free again. Their goals are to instigate change in San Carlos, to bring about awareness to the plight of the many dogs that roam the streets looking for food. It is a sad situation and hopefully one day the government, or larger rescue agency, could go in and make an even bigger difference for the better. In the meantime Suzann and JB work tirelessly and endlessly to help those dogs that they can- and usually spend their last penny to do so.

Izzy started out in a puppy mill in Mexico and was rescued, medically rehabilitated, cared for and sent up here to Santa Maria for adoption. This is his story. Click here to read about Izzy...
.
Izzy has passed his Good Citizen test and has been accepted into the Furry Friends Program! This means he will join his new sister Meg in bringing love and cuddles to seniors and kids in convalescent homes and hospitals. This is what rescue is all about really... bringing meaning to a dog's life that might have ended on the streets like so much garbage. Izzy's new job is to bring comfort and joy to people who need it. Izzy knows what it's like to be lonely and afraid - to need love and hugs - and he is willing to share the wealth of this knowledge.
