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.
The shelter staff at HSVC is prepared for more then just caring for cats and dogs. This little piglet (Holly) was brought to the shelter at less then 24 hours old. She was barely hanging on to her life when kennel Attendant Christina Illman was contacted and brought her in.
Meet Chloe! Chloe is a female, brown tabby and white Domestic Shorthair. She is about 12 years old, and she has been here since Feb 04, 2015. Chloe was originally adopted from the HSVC 11/11/2003 (11 years ago!) and she was brought back when her owner had to move.

Say "hello" to our new friend Archie! Archie was transferred from Animal Services in Camarillo on January 27th. When Archie first got here he was very timid and scared. Our Assistant Shelter Director brought Archie up into her office during the days to help him get more comfortable here at the shelter and with staff. Turns out, this big guy warms up really quick! He is still not a big fan of the kennels but is happy and relaxed when he is outside. Archie walks nicely on a leash and loves to be around people!Archie was brought into Animal Services as a stray so we do not have any background information on him. Come meet this big love bug today!
If you haven't yet picked up a copy of today's paper you can read here to find out the story behind where all our wonderful photos and videos come from! Thank you to Ojai Valley News for the wonderful article and of course to Kali Brooks for the countless hours of love and talent she has donated to our shelter animals!
A very special THANK YOU to Savannah and friends! For Savannah's birthday this year she asked for people to bring a donation to the shelter instead of traditional birthday presents. The HSVC welcomed this wonderful group of young ladies last Friday when they dropped off over $250 dollars and got a private tour from our Assistant Shelter Director!
Hoss is a darling 8-month-old male, brown brindle and white German Shepherd Dog mix. He has been available for adoption since Jan 15, 2015. Hoss needs some training, but he is already house broken and he knows basic commands! He will need to be introduced to where the "bathroom" is in his new home, which is to be expected when bringing a dog to a new home.
Oswald is a sweet male, Miniature Poodle who was surrendered to our Humane Officers in the field. He is around 9 years old (possibly older), and he has been at the HSVC since Jan 03, 2015.
