Humane Society Announces New Humane Officer K. Winwood

By Franki Williams

The Humane Society of Ventura County is proud to introduce Humane Officer Kendra Winwood(R). Winwood was officially sworn in on July 28, 2016 by Judge Henry Walsh at the Ventura County Courthouse. A ceremony was later held at the shelter in Ojai where Officer Winwood’s badge was presented to her by Director of Investigations Robert J. Hoffman and Senior Humane Officer T. Vail. Her family and friends,  along with several Board members and staff of the HSVC, were present to celebrate her achievements. Shelter Director, Jolene Hoffman, spoke to the crowd about the importance of supporting our Officers who perform a difficult job every day, not only for rescuing abused and neglected animals, but the continuing education their jobs require.

Help Local Horses in Need!

By Franki Williams

One of the things that makes the Humane Society of Ventura County so unique is its ability to house and rehabilitate neglected and abused horses on its 4.4 acre property in Ojai. Many may remember, back in 2008, when the HSVC rescued 37 horses, including 9 pregnant mares, from a ranch in Ventura County.
