On Wednesday, December 13th, the Humane Society of Ventura County took in a stray horse that had been found wandering in a field in Santa Paula just nine days after the Thomas Fire had ignited in Upper Ojai. Two kind citizens in the area were able to load the horse into a trailer and transport him to the shelter where he was promptly given food and bathed.
Responsible pet ownership includes making sure your pet is happy & healthy-nutritious food, routine grooming, proper exercise, regular health exams, and vaccinations are all part of being a pet parent.
Your dog loves spending lots of time in the garden, completely oblivious to the dangers lurking there. You might also be unaware because some risks are really surprising, like sticks!
This Valentine’s Day don’t forget your furry companions! More and more people are welcoming pets into their homes and include them in celebrations of love this time of year. Following are a few tips on showing your pet how much they mean to you!
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.
