Santa Barbara Wildlife Care Network Goleta, California

Rescue surrender was fast and friendly - good luck little birb.

If you find an injured animal, don’t take them to this place. They only have one solution and it’s euthanizing animals and telling you it’s the most humane thing to do. Don’t let all these good reviews fool you. I found a pigeon with a broken wing. I kept her for a day before taking her to this slatherhouse. She was doing well other than having a broken wing. I gave her food and water. They believe animals with disabilities should be euthanized. Please don’t support these people. if you find an injured animal, be sure they are safer with you or just in the wild.

Grateful they took in the sweet bunny we found and are providing care and shelter for it.Very nice and courteous staff.

I know them very well. And they r the best

This place does amazing things for wildlife. So glad they do what they do.

They are focused on taking excellent care of the wildlife. I took a baby dove to them, and followed up on how she was doing. They are soo nice and professional ❤❤

The staff and volunteers are extremely knowledgeable, dedicated and caring. Thank you for all you do for our wildlife in need of care and rehabilitation.

Super kind people, they do amazing work and will follow up with animals that you bring in

Amazing staff and a great resource! New vet on staff now too!

This place is full of so many kind souls and animal lovers. ❤️????

Efficient, kind and capable stewards of local wildlife in need

Thank you for the many times you’ve answered my call for help when I’ve come across injured or disillusioned birds that most people ignore. What a great group of people!

Beautiful place and very caring staff

They took in a Pacific Loon found stranded on the beach in Ventura. Thanks people! I’m sending you a donation!

These wonderful people do God's work. Honestly. They care for animals, mostly birds. But they are set up to take anything on. We watched them hand feed a pelican that was too weak to feed on it's own. They are so professional. They showed is around their property. Any hurt animal is horrible, but if they are lucky enough to be brought here, they will be given a 5 star treatment. God bless these people and their organization.

Great folks doin great things

Excellent resource for injured animals

Saved this adorable loon and took it to the wildlife care center. They are very responsive, caring, and answer phone calls or will call back ASAP. They also encourage you to call to check in the well-being of the bird.

I was lucky enough to get a little time as a volunteer during my stay with friends. These people work SO hard and do an amazing job, please check out their wish list and donate what you can.

Brought injured song bird there, so glad they are here to help

I found a dead momma opossum with one baby barely clinging to life underneath her. I took it to the Wildlife Care Network (where coincidentally I have a volunteer orientation in a few days). If anyone can save this baby, I believe they can. Of course, I did everything wrong in the process of getting the baby to them, but hey, I'm learning!

This is one of the most important community services in Santa Barbara. They deserve - and need - all the support we can offer. Thank you for helping to save our wild neighbors who suffer from human activities!

So nice to have a local place to take injured wildlife. The staff and volunteers are very knowledgeable and hard working.

Lovely place, great people doing lots of fantastic work for an unbelievable amount of birds and animals each year.

I took a long drive to the Santa Barbara Wildlife Care Network located in Goleta because I had a hard time getting through to anyone on the phone and I had a baby squirrel that needed help. The people there are so kind you can tell they love what they're doing and they kept me totally in the loop of things. My little fox squirrel went to a foster home where he is doing well and will be released back into the wild. I named him Denny because my cousin found him outside of Denny's restaurant in Port Hueneme, Ca.

A wonderful place run by some special people. Some neighborhood crows took out a baby scrub jay and left it injured in our lawn. We brought it over to SB Wildlife Care Network, and they took it in without question. We had to fill out a breif survey form, but I was in and out in less than five minutes. Naturally, they can't guarantee that they will be able to save every animal that they take in, but they do their best. From what I saw, everything looked clean and well organized, considering the number of animals housed there.

Awesome place! Great people volunteering to help our local Wildlife rehabilitate to be released.

These folks are awesome! I found a seagull on a remote beach that had a fishing lure stuck in his mouth and foot. They sent someone out to meet me and rescued him. I called other rescues, but they couldn’t be bothered for a seagull. Thanks guys!

Great work by dedicated people!

March 26, 2018 I called SBWCN and was happy to hear a person answer my call (rather than a recorded message). On the wet sand at Shoreline Beach there was an obviously distressed Western grebe. Grebes are not shorebirds, so I knew the bird was in trouble. A SBWCN volunteer showed up with 20 minutes of my call to collect the grebe and take it to the wildlife center. How wonderful it is that there are hard-working, selfless people rescuing and caring for sick and/or injured animals. Hooray for SBWCN. I am making a donation today.
