On Thursday, January 2, 2025, join Maddie's® Monthly Foster Connection at 12pm PT/3pm ET, Sarah Aguilar, Director of Santa Barbara County Animal Services, will be discussing how she and her small team expanded their capacity and improved morale by growing their foster program.
Register for the session so that you can receive notifications about upcoming webcasts and participate in discussions after the webcast.
Webcast Description:
Sarah Aguilar, Director of Santa Barbara County Animal Services, describes how she and her small team expanded their capacity and improved morale through the growth of their foster program. From starting a Doggy Day Trip program, with about 350 trips each month, to 1,500 kitten placements and housing as many dogs in foster as in shelter, SBCAS built on their existing systems and saw immediate benefits in dog well-being, adoptions, and volunteer engagement. Hear how they did it, what they learned along the way, and what's next for the program.
Sarah Aguilar's current role as the Director for Santa Barbara County Animal Services, serving 6,000 pets annually and a half million people over 2,700 square miles, combines her diverse background which includes holding key positions in various organizations dedicated to animal welfare and casual dining. Prior to her current role, Aguilar served as the Senior Director of Operations at Austin Pets Alive! in Austin, Texas, where she played a pivotal role in advancing lifesaving initiatives. Before that, she served as the National Foster Programs Manager at Greater Good Charities and as the Deputy Director for Pima Animal Care Center in Tucson, Arizona. Aguilar's journey in animal welfare began as the Foster Care Coordinator for Ventura County Animal Services, placing over 3,000 pets annually into foster. Beyond her professional endeavors, Aguilar enjoys cultivating her living room into a greenhouse, restoring her 1949 Chevy pickup, and immersing herself in live music events. Alongside her husband and niece, she cares for three beloved dogs in their coastal abode.
