Did you know that we depend entirely on our communities support for our organization to operate? YOU ARE IT. The Humane Society of Ventura County is a private, non-profit organization. We receive no direct financial assistance from city, county, state agencies or National Animal Welfare Organizations. Fundraising events, grants, bequests, investments, supporters and your very important donations are our only sources of income. We truly appreciate your love, concern and support for our Shelter animals and the community outreach services the Humane Society provides. Approximately 95 percent of the contributions we receive are spent on programs and services that directly benefit animals
