Volunteer Spotlight - Thank You Remi, Reid, and Susan!

By Franki Williams

At least twice a week, Remi, Reid, and their mother Susan come to the Humane Society of Ventura County to spend time with the dogs and cats. This family of animal lovers started volunteering when their youngest turned 10 years old, “We just love the animals and it’s so much fun to come and volunteer here.” Remi and Reid enjoy spending time with the animals and often can’t wait to come again. Their enthusiasm to help these animals is contagious and can put a smile on anyone’s face.

Help Us Reach Our Goal!

By Franki Williams

Dear friends, earlier this month we kicked off two campaigns to help cover the cost of extensive surgeries for 2 dogs in our care, Mimi and Dodger. Since that time both dogs have had successful surgeries and are already in the process of recovering here at the shelter and in a foster home. The two surgeries combined have cost the shelter $7,238.65, and with the support of our community we have already raised $1,606 of this amount.
