We think every day is Valentine's Day if you share your life with a furry friend. From all the animals at the HSVC, we wish you had a happy Valentine's Day filled with love, fun, and kisses from your favorite four-legged loved ones! The HSVC has many adorable animals looking for their soulmates this Valentine's Day. Stop by the shelter, located at 402 Bryant St. in Ojai, CA, if you are interested in bringing one home. We're open Monday - Saturday from 10 am - 5 pm.
We have the best news to share this Valentine's Day! After over 300 days at the shelter, Layla and Saffron have found their forever home TOGETHER! We could not be more thankful to Kimberly and her daughter for opening their hearts and home to not one, but two kitties in need of a loving home! Besties Layla and Saffron came to the HSVC in mid-April of last year as part of a humane investigation. Shortly after arriving at the shelter they were diagnosed with Calicivirus, a common and nonfatal upper respiratory virus that often affects cats and kittens in shelters. While not contagious to humans, both Layla and Saffron got overlooked time and time again due to their illness. We could not be more grateful this bonded pair is finally getting their happily ever after together! Thank you, Kimberly and family, for making this the best Galentine's Day ever!
We had so much fun at this Saturday's Puppy Love Concert in downtown Ojai! Thank you to all who attended, shared their talents on stage, and showed love to our four shelter pups onsite at the event. A special thank you to Asunta Fleming for MCing the event and helping us spread the love for the shelter!
