After 284 Days, Chelsea Finds Her Forever Home!

By Humane Society of Ventura County

After 284 days at the shelter, 6-year-old Chelsea has finally found her forever home with Rosalie and Alex! Chelsea began her journey with the HSVC in early September of last year after she was surrendered in the field to our Humane Officers. Her sweet but highly energetic personality made it tricky to find her the right home. Alex and Rosalie first saw Chelsea on our website and instantly fell in love with the gorgeous German Shepherd. They visited the shelter to see if there was a connection with Chelsea, and the rest is history! We couldn't be happier for this deserving pup. Congrats and happy tails, Chelsea!
