Thank you for having us, Boat Specialists!

By Humane Society of Ventura County

   Last Saturday's adoption event at the boat show was a huge success! Banh Mi, Pad Thai, and Taylor got a break from shelter life and journeyed to Ventura with several HSVC staff members for an afternoon of fun. The group enjoyed free food, live music, and more, plus the pups got lots of love and attention from those in attendance. Thank you to our friends at Boat Specialists for hosting us and gathering donations to support the shelter!
