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.
On May 14, 2020, a good samaritan called in a concern to our Humane Officers regarding a skinny horse on a property in Ventura County. Officer King met with the owner who decided it was in the horse’s best interest to be signed over to the HSVC to find a new home. Upon arrival at the shelter, the Thoroughbred mare was affectionately named Jasmine, Jazzy for short, after the way she kicked up her feet as if she were dancing.
The HSVC would like to extend a big thank you to actress and philanthropist Autumn Macintosh for sponsoring the adoption fees of all the remaining dogs at our shelter!
June 9th, 2020, the Humane Society of Ventura County celebrates our 88th year of providing services to those in need throughout the county. Normally, we would honor everyone who has supported us with an Open House/Birthday Bash at our property in Ojai but because of the COVID-19 pandemic, we have had to cancel all public gatherings for the foreseeable future. Despite, we continue to be dedicated to promoting the health, safety, welfare, compassionate care, and protection of all animals through education and community outreach programs.
Thank you to the members of the Hollywood Beach School 2019-2020 Student Council for donating pet food, toys, and other pet supplies to the HSVC through their donation drive!
Recently, a member of our Kennel Staff found what appeared to be a rattlesnake on the Humane Society of Ventura County shelter property. We notified the Ventura County Fire Department to come to dispatch the snake. It was determined, however, that the snake was a common gopher snake and was harmless to animals and staff – it was captured and released in an open area.

Because we don’t know how long we all will be in isolation due to COVID-19, the HSVC has decided to cancel our largest annual event.
Calling all animal lovers! Due to COVID-19, the HSVC will be hosting our annual summer camp online this year! Animal Adventure Camp at Home is an alternative to traditional onsite camp activities, offered by using various video conferencing and online platforms.
Thank you Heather for stopping by the Humane Society of Ventura County recently to drop off a donation from the Topa Topa Elementary 5th grade leadership group. Several of the students were on hand for the donation as was HSVC office dog Maso.
