The Humane Society of Ventura County is a compassionate care shelter and non-profit organization dedicated to the protection and adoption of animals in need throughout Ventura County.
Around 2 million Americans own an equine friend, with many needing to transport their pet at some point. First things first, check your horse over before you travel to ensure they are fit and well as traveling can be stressful for them. Do not travel if you have any doubts and contact a vet if required. If a vet is happy for your horse to travel you’ll have peace of mind and your horse will arrive safe and healthy.

Mimi needs your help! Sweet Mimi was signed over in the field to our Humane Officers along with another dog not long ago. When Mimi first arrived she was very frightened and it was clear that she would require medical care on two visible lumps on her underside. It was determined that the lumps are not tumors but instead two large hernias . This morning Mimi had a visit with Dr. Karen Moore, DVM and it was determined that the hernias would require extensive surgery to repair.
