Take Everest Home Today!

By Humane Society of Ventura County

    Everest would love to be your new cuddle bug! Eight-year-old Everest originally came in as a stray, and after we found her owner, they realized they could no longer care for her and surrendered her to the shelter to find a new home. She has been at the HSVC for 254 days. The sweet Husky was briefly adopted during her stay but was returned due to no fault of her own. As a senior pup, Everest is ready for a commitment with an owner who is ready to give her the love she deserves.

Help Us Find Pino a Furever Home!

By Humane Society of Ventura County

   Are you looking for a funny, smart, and independent kitty to add to your family? Then Pino is the girl for you! Two-year-old Pino was brought to the shelter as a stray in the Summer of 2023 after she was found in a box with her five young kittens. She and her fur babies were immediately placed in a loving foster home and have been thriving in their care ever since. Sweet but shy, Pino may need a bit of time to feel secure in her environment. However, once she trusts you she loves to play with her favorite toys and will curl up on a big fluffy blanket in her favorite spot.
