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.
Five bucks can make all the difference for an animal in need. Before you start your weekend, won't you please consider making a donation to our spay and neuter program? It's easy, just click here!
BACK FOR A LIMITED TIME! We were recently chosen to be the fortunate recipients of a generous grant for our Chihuahua spay and neuter program! While the HSVC was awarded the grant, it is our entire community that will benefit. Animal overpopulation is not a myth but a very real fact that impacts the lives of tens of thousands of animals each year right here in our own county. Visit any shelter and you will find them filled with animals with no home to call their own and not enough people visiting their local shelters to adopt.
WE NEED YOUR HELP! We have completely run out of cat food for our pet food bank and are reaching out to our community for donations!
This morning, three fourth grade students from Oak Grove School stopped by the shelter to make a contribution to animals in need. Yoshi, Danielle, and Kate held a fundraiser bake sale as part of a project for their math class and donated all the funds they raised, an amazing $184, to the shelter!
A very special thank you and congratulations to the Rubicon Theatre on Saturday nights successful opening of the play Sylvia! Rubicon Theatre not only collected donations for the shelter but also invited the HSVC staff to do a presentation on our services and provide materials on animal rescue throughout ventura County.
It is National Volunteer Appreciation week and the Humane Society of Ventura County is shining a light on all of the amazing things our volunteers do.
The Humane Society of Ventura County will be at the opening night of Sylvia at the Rubicon Theatre in Ventura this Saturday night. Humane Educator, Dawn Riley, will be representing the Humane Society of Ventura County, talking about the many services offered to the community. Mark your calendars in advance for the return of the beloved production Sylvia, opening April 19!
Spring is here and we all know what that means……KITTIES! There are many homeless cats on the prowl and we are often asked how to tell the difference between “feral” cats and “stray” cats in your neighborhood. Knowing how to tell the difference can help inform you how best to interact with a cat or what type of intervention would be in the cat’s best interest.
