Describe the Organization's Mission:
Part 3 - Line 1
IT IS SPARK RESCUE'S MISSION TO RESCUE, REHABILITATE, MEDICALLY TREAT, SPAY AND NEUTER UNWANTED DOGS AND CATS AND PLACE THEM INTO PERMANENT HOMES. TO PREVENT FUTURE UN WANTED LITTERS WE SPAY THE MOTHER OF THE LITTER BEING SURRENDERED. WE ALSO OFFER VACCINATIONS TO ALL CATS AND DOGS THAT ARE "DUMPED" DURING THEIR STRAY HOLD REGARDLESS IF SPARK RESCUE IS ABLE TO TAKE THEM INTO OUR ADOPTION PROGRAM OR NOT.
Describe the Organization's Program Activity:
Part 3 - Line 4a
IN 2023 SPARK RESCUE SANTA BARBARA RESCUED AND REHABILITATED OVER 153 DOGS AND 4 CATS. MOST OF THE RESCUES WERE TRANSPORTED FROM SOUTHERN CA. ( LOS ANGELES AND BAKERSFIELD). A SMALL AMOUNT WERE OWNER SURRENDERED FROM OUR SANTA BARBARA COMMUNITY. UPON ARRIVAL EVERY DOG IS TESTED FOR GIARDIA, PARVO VIRUS. THE CATS ARE TESTED FOR GIARDIA, PANLEUKOPENIA VIRUS AND FELINE LEUKEMIA VIRUS. DURING INTAKE EVERY HEALTHY RESCUE RECEIVES VACCINATIONS, DEWORMING, FLEA AND TICK TREATMENT AND BATHED. ALL DOGS AND CATS ARE MEDICALLY TREATED FOR CONTAGIOUS DISEASES BEFORE BEING PLACED INTO A FOSTER HOME. IF THERE ARE BEHAVIORAL ISSUES WE WORK WITH A TRAINER TO CORRECT THE ISSUE THEN MOVE THE RESCUE INTO A FOSTER HOME. IF THERE ARE MEDICAL ISSUES, BROKEN BONES, PARVO VIRUS OR ANY VISIBLE SIGNS OF ILLNESS OR PAIN THE RESCUE IS SEEN BY A VET IMMEDIATELY AND TREATED. THE MEDICAL RESCUES STAY WITH THE DIRECTOR UNTIL THEY ARE CLEARED. EVERY HEALTHY ANIMAL LIVES WITH A FOSTER FAMILY WHO CARES FOR THEM, TRAINS THEM AND LEARNS EVERYTHING ABOUT THEIR FOSTER SO THE RESCUE CAN SUCCESSFULLY MATCH THE DOG OR CAT WITH A PRE APPROVED ADOPTER. DURING THEIR TIME LIVING IN A FOSTER HOME THEY ARE ALTERED, GROOMED, MICROCHIPPED AND GIVEN THEIR RABIES, WE PROVIDE ALL NECESSARY SUPPLIES TO TAKE CARE OF THE ANIMAL. AFTER EACH ANIMAL IS ALTERED AND MEDICALLY CLEARED THEY ARE PLACED UP FOR ADOPTION ON OUR WEBSITE WWW.SPARKRESCUE.ORG, SOCIAL MEDIA PAGES, ADOPT A PET AND FEATURED IN LOCAL PRESS. POTENTIAL ADOPTERS SUBMIT AND APPLICATION FOR THE DOG OR CAT THEY WISH TO ADOPT. AFTER THE APPLICATION IS APPROVED A HOME CHECK IS PERFORMED FOR SECURITY AND SAFETY. THE APPROVED APPLICANT MEETS WITH THE FOSTER FAMILY AND IF ALL GOES WELL THE ADOPTER WOULD SIGN AN ADOPTION AGREEMENT AND TAKE THEIR DOG OR CAT HOME. NONE OF THESE DOGS AND CATS WERE CONSIDERED ADOPTABLE BECAUSE OF ILLNESS OR KNOWN OR PERCEIVED "BEHAVIORAL ISSUES".
SPARK RESCUE SANTA BARBARA HAS IMPLEMENTED A PROGRAM TO ENSURE WE ARE DOING OUR PART TO HELP CONTROL THE OVER POPULATION OF UNWANTED DOGS AND CATS WE PAY THE COST TO HAVE THE MOTHER OF THE LITTER BEING SURRENDERED TO BE SPAYED, WE HAVE MADE THIS A MANDATORY PROVISION FOR ANY LITTERS RELINQUISHED TO THE RESCUE.
SPARK RESCUE SANTA BARBARA HAS SEEN A SIGNIFICANT RISE IN PARVO VIRUS AND DISTEMPER SINCE THE COVID-19 OUTBREAK IN ORDER TO HELP THE ANIMALS THAT HAVE BEEN PICKED UP OFF THE STREETS, TRAPPED OR ABANDONED WE HAVE BEEN PROVIDING VACCINATIONS, DE WORMING AND FLEA AND TICK TREATMENTS TO EVERY ANIMAL, NOT JUST THE ONES THAT ARE ACCEPTED INTO OUR PROGRAM.
