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.
This quirky pair is Fred and Ethel! These two were abandoned at the storage facility next door to the shelter last week. They are both Golden Labrador Retrievers and we estimate their age to be around 7-8 years old. Fred and Ethel are just as sweet as can be.
Junior and Jean Grey are two of our younger cats who just moved into the adult cat room together to make way for the itty bitty kitties.Junior is a 9 month old sweetheart, his former owner says that Junior is very friendly and outgoing! He has been around small dogs and mostly women, however in our cat and kitten rooms the animals gets lots of attention from all types of people! Jean Grey is a gorgeous female, gray Domestic Shorthair. She is 11 months old and she has the most beautiful amber-green eyes! She is playful and gets along with other cats and kittens!
License Amnesty! Between July 1st and August 31st all penalties and fines will be forgiven by Ventura County Animal Services. As a courtesy, HSVC can handle the licensing paperwork for you.
It’s hard to believe it is already July! Time sure sneaks up on us. If you are in search of some last minute quality activities for your kids we have the solution! The Humane Society of Ventura County offers a variety of fun, service and learning oriented camp sessions for various age groups between 7 and 15. An array of topics are covered in these camps and include hands on work with shelter animals as well as information about animals in the wild both locally and around the world.
For the past year Jacob Fajardo from Boy Scout Troop 504 has been working on a project for the Humane Society of Ventura County in order to earn the rank of Eagle Scout. Jacob started as a Wolf in Scouts nearly ten years ago. Last year Jacob approached the shelter with a project to benefit the animals of the Humane Society, a place where his own family dog had come from years ago.
Rebel is a beautiful female, tortie Domestic Longhair. She is about 3 years old, and she has been at the HSVC since April 24, 2015 (she is one of the twenty cats our Humane Officers rescued in the field). Rebel is good with people and other cats, but she is still new to the cat room and needs a little bit more time to warm up. Come, bring a book, and sit by her for awhile and read together to gain her trust. You will be rewarded with a beautiful and loyal friend! Come meet her today!

A very special THANK YOU to Puff N Fluff Pet Grooming in Meiners Oaks for taking such good care of our sweet Susie! Susie came into the shelter completely matted, with burrs and sticks stuck in her fur. She smelled terrible and was obviuosly uncomfortable in her own skin. One of our long time supporters called up Puff N Fluff and they offered to take care of her for free! Not only that they donated two FREE groomings a month to the Humane Society! Thank you Amber and Puff N Fluff staff for your support. Susie is super happy with her new 'do!
