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.
Talk about puppy love! The HSVC is excited to officially introduce mama Aria and her five adorable babies, Melody, Lyric, Rhythm, Harper, and Harmony. New mom Aria was surrendered to the HSVC as a stray in early January with her four friends after they were found roaming near Foster Park. The sweet Border Collie mix was full-term pregnant when she arrived and gave birth to her litter two days later.
Valentine’s Day is for lovers…animal lovers! Our animals show us unconditional love every day, and we think it’s time we returned the favor. Help us shower our shelter furiends with love this Valentine’s Day by donating to the HSVC. Your donation will help provide yummy treats, new toys, and more to deserving shelter animals!
Show your pet love this Valentine's Day by getting them a FREE heart-shaped ID tag courtesy of the HSVC! We have heart tags of all sizes and colors available free of charge now through February 14th.
The HSVC would like to extend a huge thank you to all who donated pet food for our furry friends via our Wishlists! We were blown away by the generosity of our community and are thrilled to share we received 120 cases of puppy and dog food, that’s 1440 cans total! The Shelter is now fully stocked and ready to spoil our pups!
Bruce and Kira's journey began in August of 2021 under very common circumstances. Our Humane Officers responded to a report to check the wellbeing of two dogs at an address in Ventura County.
We are pleased to announce the return of our Animal Ambassadors to the Shelter! After a brief hiatus due to COVID-19, we are excited to welcome our most experienced volunteers back and appreciate their immense patience as we navigate this everchanging pandemic.
The Humane Society of Ventura County has had another successful year of providing free pet food to those in need. We are excited to share that our Shelter distributed approximately 34,000 pounds of free pet food across Ventura County in 2021 through our combined pet food programs! That's over 5x more than what we distributed in 2020!
We would like to give a big shoutout to our animal-loving friends at Rincon Brewery in Ventura for helping us raise money as part of the #BettyWhiteChallenge! Rincon hosted a fundraiser event from January 14th through 17th in which attendees were encouraged to purchase a $7 beer to honor the beloved actress. All proceeds from their Ventura location were then donated to the HSVC. Thank you, Rincon, for being a friend to animals in need and making Betty White proud!
