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.
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!
A MESSAGE FROM BOY SCOUT JACOB FAJARDO: Hello my name is Jacob Fajardo, from Boy Scout troop 504. I am working on my Eagle Scout project for the Humane Society of Ventura County in Ojai a private nonprofit organization who exists solely on donations. My project will be building two new dog runs and installing a running tunnel in the agility course for the Humane Society.
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.
We have been waiting to share this video until our cats were well enough for visitors. it may be another day or two so please call the shelter before you come to visit them. In the meantime enjoy this hilarious and amazing video that Mr. Whiskers previous owners made to show the world what a great cat he is! Mr. Whiskers family had to surrender him to the shelter for reasons unavoidable. It's rare that folks who surrender their animals to us participate in finding them their new home. Not the case with Mr. Whiskers! They sent us this video the other day and have been calling regularly to see how he is doing.
Congratulations to Jujubee who gave birth to 6 beautiful pups this morning! Jujubee came into our care almost two weeks ago and has been receiving the royal treatment from our staff and volunteers getting her comfortable and ready for her big day!
