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.
Thank you to the members of the Hollywood Beach School 2019-2020 Student Council for donating pet food, toys, and other pet supplies to the HSVC through their donation drive!
Recently, a member of our Kennel Staff found what appeared to be a rattlesnake on the Humane Society of Ventura County shelter property. We notified the Ventura County Fire Department to come to dispatch the snake. It was determined, however, that the snake was a common gopher snake and was harmless to animals and staff – it was captured and released in an open area.
On June 9th of this year, the Humane Society of Ventura County celebrates its 88th year of providing services to those in need throughout the county. Normally, we would honor everyone who has supported us with an Open House at our property in Ojai. Because we don’t know how long we all will be in isolation due to COVID-19, the HSVC has decided to cancel our largest annual event.
Calling all animal lovers! Due to COVID-19, the HSVC will be hosting our annual summer camp online this year! Animal Adventure Camp at Home is an alternative to traditional onsite camp activities, offered by using various video conferencing and online platforms.
Thank you Heather for stopping by the Humane Society of Ventura County recently to drop off a donation from the Topa Topa Elementary 5th grade leadership group. Several of the students were on hand for the donation as was HSVC office dog Maso.
The Humane Society of Ventura County was grateful to be the recipient of four pallets of donated dog food recently by the Wellness Natural Pet Food from a Southern California drive organized by Best Friends Animal Society. The food will be distributed to those in need including John who relies on donations to feed his two boxers.
After six months at the shelter, Bella has finally found her forever home!
