Bernie's Happy Ending
By Humane Society of Ventura County
In mid-June, HSVC staff contacted our friends at Woods Humane Society in San Luis Obispo (SLO) and arranged a "dog swap" with one of our longest residents, Ophelia, and one of their long-term residents, Bernie. Two members of the HSVC team transported Ophelia to Buellton, the halfway point between HSVC and Woods, did the swap, and headed back to HSVC with Bernie. The HSVC team welcomed Bernie with open arms, giving him love and spending lots of time with him to get to know his personality. Upon arriving at HSVC, Bernie adjusted well and instantly became a staff favorite with his happy-go-lucky demeanor. Dee, HSVC's Canine Assistant Animal Care Manager (pictured left), loved hanging out with Bernie and taking him for walks. "Bernie is one of those types of dogs that would just go wherever his people are going. He's a total couch potato, fun, loves to play fetch, and is super easygoing. He loved to go on his morning walks and then just sit and hang out in the shade," said Dee.

Nearly 100 Animals Find Homes During Clear the Shelters!
By Humane Society of Ventura County
We are thrilled to share that nearly 100 animals found their forever homes during our Clear the Shelters adoption promotion! This year marked the 10th anniversary of the Clear The Shelters adoption movement. To celebrate this milestone, Greater Good Charities, NBCUniversal Local, a division of NBCUniversal, and Hill’s Pet Nutrition partnered with shelters and rescues across the country to promote a month-long event from August 10th to September 10th. HSVC offered $50 adoptions for all available dogs, cats, puppies, and kittens during this time. We also hosted not one, but two fee-waived days on August 17th and August 31st. Over 30 animals found their homes for free on these days and we couldn't be happier for them. Thank you to all who supported our efforts to Clear The Shelters, and thank you to all who donated in support of HSVC!
