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.
Big news! The HSVC is thrilled to announce that we will be joining the Ojai Community Farmer’s Market on the last Thursday of each month starting next Thursday, March 31st! Stop by and visit us at Chaparral Courtyard, located at 414 E Ojai Ave in Ojai, from 3 - 7 pm.
The HSVC is excited to partner with Rincon Brewery, Leashless Brewing, Ojai Valley Brewery, and Dargan's Irish Pub & Restaurant to launch our first-ever coaster campaign! With this campaign, animal lovers can visit some of their favorite local breweries and donate to our shelter using the QR code on the back of each coaster. What a fun and easy way to help animals in need!
Thank you to all who joined us at the shelter to celebrate Oliver Bird's 35th birthday! It was a celebration fit for a king, just like Oliver!
Aria's puppies are double digits! These cuties are now 10-weeks-old. They are each discovering their voices and getting increasingly difficult to take pictures of because they wiggle so much!
Our first-ever HSVC Cares remote vaccination clinic was a huge success! Thank you to our shelter staff, volunteers, and all who attended this event to make it successful. We also want to give a shoutout to our friends at Ohana Pet Hospital for allowing us to host the event in their parking lot and to Petco Love for supplying the free vaccines!
An equine virus has begun to spread in southern California among horses. Known as EHV-1 or the Equine Herpes Virus, this infection in horses can cause respiratory disease, abortion in mares, neonatal foal death, and neurological disease. Though it has not yet entered Ventura County, horse owners should be aware that the virus is present in neighboring counties such as Los Angeles County, Orange County, Santa Clara County, Riverside County, Riverside County, and San Mateo County.
The HSVC would like to give a shoutout to stone worker Sean Michels for helping us grow our Memory Garden by installing additional pavers. Each memory garden paver displays a message commemorating someone special, and we greatly appreciate the hard work Michels has put in to make them look beautiful!
