May is Adopt a Horse Month!

By Humane Society of Ventura County

Adopt a Horse Month was introduced in 2021 by the ASPCA Right Horse program, and it has been gaining popularity ever since. The program aims to help horses find suitable homes with the right individuals. May is considered one of the best times to promote adoptable horses to those who are looking to add another horse to their family. This is because equestrians begin to focus on shows, trail rides, and other activities after being cooped up during the winter months. Adopt a Horse Month supports equine rescue groups nationwide that work tirelessly to find safe and loving homes for the horses in their care. Learn More About our Adoptable Horses

Take Everest Home Today!

By Humane Society of Ventura County

Everest would love to be your new cuddle bug! Eight-year-old Everest originally came in as a stray, and after we found her owner, they realized they could no longer care for her and surrendered her to the shelter to find a new home. She has been at the HSVC for 254 days. The sweet Husky was briefly adopted during her stay but was returned due to no fault of her own. As a senior pup, Everest is ready for a commitment with an owner who is ready to give her the love she deserves.
