Enter the pet microchip — a simple, elegant product of our high-tech age. No bigger than a grain of rice or more costly than a month’s supply of pet food, a pet microchip and enrollment in a pet recovery database brings lost pets home and provides peace of mind that your beloved companion will never wander unknown.
A very special THANK YOU to A Canine Styling Salon in Oxnard for Chili's amazing makeover! Chili was surrendered to our Humane Officers in the field a few days ago and was in dire need of professional grooming. A Canine Styling Salon donated their services to get Chili looking and feeling great!
SIGN UP TODAY! Coming soon to Lake Casitas! The first annual Dog Jog will be a fun event for people who love animals and want to support our LOCAL Humane Society. The Dog Jog is a 5k fun run/walk for people (we would LOVE to have dogs participate but it presents too many logistical issues for our very first 5k, hopefully the next one!). The event will take place at Lake Casitas on March 14, 2015. There will be live music by Main Street Band, food trucks, and HSVC will have both information and education booths on site. (Sign up at www.Active.com by February 15th to get a FREE t-shirt).
Humane Education is a free service from the Humane Society of Ventura County that teaches compassion, empathy, respect and kindness for all living things. Our programs use the irresistible draw of live animals to captivate and tap into the minds and hearts of our audience.
This fine fella is Oscar. Oscar is a 2 year old male Boxer who was transferred alongside 5 other dogs from Ventura County Animal Services on December 24th. He is a medium to low energy guy who seems to love everyone!
Sara Gomez and Wanda Ballesteros stopped by with not only a Suburban FULL of donations such as pet food and cleaning supplies, but they also presented our Shelter Director Jolene Hoffman, and Kennel Manager Angela Hanline with a $1000 check for the animals in our care!
This pretty gal is Lil. Lil is a gorgeous 12 year old Red Roan/Appaloosa mare with striking markings. She was one of three horses impounded on September 6, 2014 by our Humane Officers. Since arriving at the Humane Society Lil has improved greatly and is now at an adequate weight.
