Help Us Care for Evacuated Animals!

By Humane Society of Ventura County

   It's been a busy week at the HSVC and we don't see it slowing down any time soon! We have taken in several evacuated horses whose homes were being threatened by severe flooding. Our Humane Officers and equine specialists went out in the field to assist anyone in need with evacuating their barn animals. Our kennel staff has been working tirelessly to care for the additional animals now at the shelter and our office staff has been busy answering calls to offer additional resources. Thank you all for your dedication and hard work!
