By Humane Society of Ventura County
Big news from the barn! Thirteen and Ariana, two of our beloved rescue horses, trotted off into a bright new chapter and were adopted by the wonderful Hogan Family Foundation! These two gentle souls can now call Rancho St. Francis home, where they’ll spend their days enjoying fresh hay, wide-open pastures, and plenty of well-deserved pampering. They’re joining fellow HSVC alums Sadie Mae and Juniper, making the ranch feel like a true reunion of rescued hearts. We couldn't be more excited that this lucky pair found their happy ending!

Our shelter family recently gathered for a heartwarming evening to honor the behind-the-scenes heroes of our mission—our incredible volunteers and fosters. In celebration of Volunteer Appreciation Month, we proudly hosted a special appreciation dinner right here at the shelter, featuring an array of delicious pasta catered by the beloved local favorite, Boccali’s. This event was just one small but meaningful way for us to demonstrate how truly grateful we are for all that our volunteers and fosters do. Thank you to each and every one of you!
