Santa Paula Animal Rescue Center, is the first open-admission No Kill animal shelter in the county. Over 95% of the animals who enter here, live.
SPARC is the first No-Kill animal shelter in Ventura County. We are a City pound and will accept any stray animal found within Santa Paula, or any animal surrendered to us by a resident of the city. We do not discriminate against species, breed, type, size, health, or temperament. Adoption fees are $125 for dogs and $100 for cats. We are open every day from 10am-5pm except Monday.
We believe every animal deserves a second chance at life and no animal is killed for any reason at SPARC, other than if a vet deems it is suffering beyond help.
The City of Santa Paula provides only 10% of the $1.4 million per year required to run the shelter, so SPARC relies on the generosity of members of the public just like you, to financially support our mission of No Kill, No Excuses.
SPARC is a no-kill animal shelter dedicated to rehabilitating and rehoming the homeless pets of Santa Paula, California.
