Lompoc's animal shelter on Friday officially reopened to pets — and people — after nearly three years of closure due to a faltering volunteer program catalyzed by the COVID-19 pandemic.
While the shelter is not back to a full-service operation, Santa Barbara County Animal Services Director Sarah Aguilar said it's off to a great start.
Some services offered on-site are lost pet reunification, foster pet support, microchipping, volunteer opportunities, license sales and renewals and pet adoption. Potential adopters can peruse the adoptable pets library and make an appointment to visit the animal that is housed at either the Santa Barbara or Santa Maria shelter.
In fact, within hours of reopening on Friday, Aguilar said that a lost dog was brought to the facility and reunified with its owner in an hour, circumventing the Santa Maria shelter where lost pets found in Lompoc are driven to Santa Maria for eventual reunification that requires owners to make the drive north.
