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.
After 338 days, we are thrilled to share that HSVC's longest canine resident Blake has finally found his forever home with Michelle and Berge! Now Indy, this handsome Husky could not be happier in his new home, and we could not be happier for him!
Attention cat lovers! HSVC is overflowing with adorable cats and kittens! To help these cuties find their homes sooner, our shelter is running an adoption special on felines for the month of July. All adult cats (6 months and older) are now just $50 and all kittens (under 6 months) are 2 for 1 at $150. Visit the shelter, 402 Bryant St. in Ojai, any time Monday - Saturday between 10 am and 5 pm to meet your future best friend!
On July 8th, the Humane Society of Ventura County partnered with the Museum of Ventura County Agriculture Museum to hold a Doggie Days (and cats!) microchip clinic. Local animal welfare organizations were on hand to share their collective knowledge with hands-on training. Attendees were offered low-cost microchipping services, children’s activities, presentations, and more. Tracy Vail of The Canine Messenger was also onsite offering training tips and hosting an education pack walk for dog owners. We had a steady turnout and it was a pleasure to meet animal lovers from across the county. Thank you to all who came out to support us!
It was a jam-packed last day of summer camp at the HSVC last Friday! Campers got the opportunity to learn about dog training from professional dog behaviorist Tracy Vail of The Canine Messenger. After the training session, campers and staff were treated to snowcones from our friends at Kona Ice. What a fun way to cap off an amazing summer of learning!
On June 30th, 2023, a team from HSVC was on hand to receive a sponsorship check from Michelle Pitt-McQueen, Vice President and Retail Area Manager of Mechanics Bank (Ojai), and her team, in the amount of $2500. This generous donation was given to the shelter in honor of our 91st birthday and was used to help sponsor our June 9th and 10th birthday celebrations. We had a great turnout at both events and raised funds that will allow HSVC to continue performing vital animal welfare services throughout Ventura County. We know our birthday weekend would not have been successful without the generous support of sponsors like Mechanics Bank! We invite any animal-loving organizations or individuals interested in sponsoring next year's birthday bash events to reach out to Steve McCurry, Community Development Manager, at 805-299-6350 or via email at [email protected], As a private nonprofit, the HSVC does not receive any funding from the government or any other animal welfare organization. We rely solely on these types of generous donations to continue serving those in need throughout the county. You can join our cause by making a donation on our website.

The 2023 Humane Education Summer Camp at HSVC was a great experience! Campers were spotted leaving camp with smiles and sharing stories about all the exciting things they did.
The HSVC wants to extend a big thank you to our friends at Moorpark Teaching Zoo for visiting the shelter and teaching our campers about exotic animals! Shelter staff and campers had fun learning about the zoo and interacting with their collection of animals. Thank you to the zoo staff and instructors for making our last day of summer camp memorable!
