Officer Trouble Reporting for Duty!
By Humane Society of Ventura County
When Trouble first arrived at the Humane Society of Ventura County, we immediately knew that this Pit Bull Terrier mix was something special. He arrived with his best friend, Doja, after the pair was surrendered in the field to our Humane Officers. Don't let his name fool you, this sweet boy is all heart and destined for greatness! Playful, affectionate, and full of personality, Trouble quickly became a shelter favorite. From zipping around the play yard to melting into laps for cuddles, his charm was impossible to resist.

What an incredible day celebrating Subaru Loves Pets Month with our friends at Kirby Subaru of Ventura! The event was filled with wagging tails, smiling faces, and a sense of community spirit as we came together to support shelter animals and spread love. Guests enjoyed a lively day, complete with tacos, giveaways, and plenty of pet snuggles. Subaru's popular "Spin the Wheel" game had everyone excited to win Subaru and HSVC swag. At the same time, friends from AirWorks Solutions, Ventura County's trusted heating, air, and plumbing experts, joined in on the fun and shared in our mission to help both pets and people. They shared helpful tips about home air quality, introducing guests to Colorfil, a premium air filter brand designed especially for pet-friendly households!
