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.
Our Animal Adventure Summer Campers got a special visit on their last day of camp! Thank you to Mandy, Sylvia, Abby, and Heatherlyn of the National Disaster Search Dog Foundation (SDF) for joining us at the shelter and teaching our campers about their organization! SDF even brought three search dogs, Nala, Hugo, and Ridge, to demonstrate their search and rescue skills. What a perfect way to finish up summer camp!
A big thank you goes out to young animal-lover Ava for donating to our shelter to help animals in need! Ava recently hosted a lemonade stand in her neighborhood and raised $107 for the animals of the HSVC. Wow! This is her second time donating to the shelter and we are so touched by her kindness. HSVC Executive Director Eric Knight was on had to accept her generous donation. Way to go, Ava!
We are thrilled to share that Mila has found her forever home thanks to our friends at Bay Area Balanced Dog Training! She was adopted by a lovely family and will even be gaining a fellow Malinois big brother in her new home!
We need your help to find Saffron, Layla, and Cedric their forever homes! Our Humane Officers brought these sweet cats to the HSVC as part of a hoarding case in mid-April. After examination by our vet, the three felines were diagnosed with Calicivirus, a common upper respiratory virus that often affects cats and kittens in shelters. While not fatal or contagious to humans or other animals, we are recommending that these cuties go to homes where they are the only cat in the household. Their adoption fee is only $60! Help us get Cedric, Layla, and Saffron out of the shelter and into the loving forever homes they deserve!
The entire Humane Society of Ventura County team would like to thank Kirby Subaru and Subaru Loves Pets for generously donating a brand new surgical lift table to our shelter! This new table will help us to provide essential procedures for animals in need throughout our community. Thank you, Kirby!
We need your help! Kitten season is in full swing here at the HSVC and our shelter is quickly running out of kitten food to feed these adorable fur babies. You can help us by donating kitten food through our Amazon or Chewy Wishlists!
