Loma Vista Students Enjoy a Fur-tastic Field Trip to HSVC
By Humane Society of Ventura County
This week, we had the pleasure of welcoming a lively group of second graders from Loma Vista Elementary School for a field trip full of fun, learning, and furry friends! The 50+ students spent their morning exploring the shelter and meeting playful pups, curious kitties, and even a few of our gentle horses. Each young animal advocate loved getting to know our shelter pets, and our animals certainly enjoyed the extra attention!

Glen the Goat Goes Home!
By Humane Society of Ventura County
Our shelter has seen all kinds of animals come through our doors, and every so often, one captures our hearts in a truly unforgettable way. Such is the case with Glen, a charismatic young goat with a story that’s as wild as it is heartwarming! Glen came to us via our friends at Pasadena Humane, who rescued him under heartbreaking circumstances. Their staff found him tied to a freeway underpass shortly after the wildfires in Los Angeles broke out. Despite the chaos around him, Glen’s spirit was unshaken. He appeared grateful to be rescued, but mostly he was just happy to have new friends! The social goat was then transported to our shelter to find a new home.
