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.
We would like to give a big thank you to Cathie, Eric, Denyse, Joanne, Linda, Carol and other members of the Ojai United Methodist Church for donating several large bags & canned food for the cats and dogs. Your generosity means so much to the critters of the HSVC!
Snoopy is a sweet, male, tricolor Beagle. He is about 10 years old and very active for a"senior" fella! Snoopy came in as a lost dog on February 27, 2015 and was never claimed. Snoopy can be quite the talker and our kennel staff has observed that he gets along well with the other dogs they have put him with.
The current drought situation forces wild animals into our neighborhoods in search of sources of food and water. This may cause our pets to have increased interactions with wild animals, such as coyotes and raccoons. It is good time to make sure your pets are up to date on their vaccines to help protect them from the rabies virus.
Jean Grey is a grey domestic shorthaired kitten who came into the Shelter with several litter mates on September 25th, 2014. All of the kittens were named after various Xmen Super heroes and Jean Grey was perfect for this little kitten.
Nina was surrendered to our shelter, with another dog, Buddy, on February 13, 2015. She is a sweet, black, short-haired Chihuahua mix who is roughly ten years old.
A senior pet is the perfect companion for a senior citizen! Pet owners know that their furry companions improve the quality of their life. Not only do pets give us unconditional love, they provide a wellness boost too!

Lexie is a docile, female, sable Pomeranian. She is 3 years old, and she has been at the HSVC since Feb 23, 2015. Lexie is not your typical Pom! When she came in to the HSVC she was scared and would bark at everyone. After a lot of love from staff and volunteers, she is now quite polite and quiet.
