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.
Thank you to the Circle K International Club from Ventura College for coming up to the shelter last week to go through training to become volunteers! Volunteers are required to attend training classes to learn how to safely socialize the cats and dogs and learn about the intricacies of dog and cat body language. The trainings help to make the experience more enjoyable for both our volunteers and our animals!
For two and a half years Kristina and Kai Ortmann have been volunteering weekly with the dogs and cats at the Humane Society of Ventura County.
Five Dollar Friday is a weekly opportunity for our supporters to get a behind the scenes look at the care that goes into each animal and see how your generous donations help animals in need! Captain America was brought to the shelter when he was just two weeks old.
On April 22, 2016, sixteen year old Tinke was surrendered to the shelter by her previous owner when the cost to care of her became too much. Besides her age Tinke had numerous tumors on her underside. While they do not cause her any pain she does have some difficulty walking. Despite this, Tinke does very well and is enjoying life!
Thank you to our neighbors at the Weil Tennis Academy for volunteering their time to help with shelter animals! Weil Tennis Academy students have been volunteers at the Humane Society for over a year and we were excited to receive 7 new volunteers last week!
Last week, with the support of our community, Director of Investigation J. Hoffman, Senior Humane Officer Vail, and Humane Officer Winwood were pleased to acquire a new vehicle to help with the rescue and transport of large animals in need.
In honor of Love Your Pet Day coming up in just a few weeks the Humane Society of Ventura County is offering microchipping and ID tags for a reduced rate!
