This year the Humane Society of Ventura County has been nominated for 3 categories in this years Best of the Ojai Valley put together by the Ojai Valley News. The HSVC is honored to have been nominated for Best Customer Service, Best Pet Food and Supply, and Best Nonprofit!

For 86 years the HSVC has provided vital services to the community. Besides our adoption center we also have our Low Cost Spay and Neuter Clinic that alters not only the animals here at the shelter but for the public as well. Humane Education has always been one of our top priorities and our Humane Educator has visited thousands of classrooms, children and youth organizations, service clubs and various functions promoting the protection of and kindness to all living beings and our environment. Our badged and trained Humane Officers are responsible for alleviating the suffering of many animals throughout the county. Over 500 reports of neglect and abuse are filed each year. As we saw in December, the Humane Society alongside other emergency agencies are always involved in rescuing animals during fires, floods and other disasters. The Shelter is a busy place, we never know what it’s going to be like from day to day!
