Humane Society of Ventura County

We love it when our momma dogs find their forever families! Mona and her 5 puppies were rescued in the field by our Humane Officers and brought to the shelter for safe keeping back in November.

Senior sweetheart Buddy has been adopted! After 11 months at the HSVC, Buddy was not only one of our longest residents, but at 12 years old, he was also one of our oldest. Buddy was brought to the shelter last February with 7 other dogs that were rescued in the field by our Humane Officers.

Happy tails to handsome Peter! Peter, a 3.5 month old Akita, was rescued in the field by our Humane Officers back in October. Since his arrival, our Officers worked hard to find Peter, who will grow up to be one big boy, the perfect home.

Congratulations to Bear who found a lovely home just in time for the holidays! Young Clementine had some very specific qualities she was looking for in a cat and her amazing parents were more than happy to oblige.

Last week we had a very special adoption take place at the shelter. Many of you may recognize Stanley, the adorable pup on the left. He arrived at the shelter on January 8th, nearly one year ago, and has been in our care ever since

We have not one, not two, but three amazing adoptions to tell you about! Pepper,Diego, and Stella were three of our longest dog residence at the shelter, and in a rare case were all three adopted together!

We have wonderful news! We are sure many of you recognize Reba, who we are happy to announce found a new home all her own last week! Reba was brought in as a stray nearly 3 months ago and soon after gave birth to 9 beautiful pups.

In the last few weeks you may have noticed a handful of really handsome Border Collie puppies finding their forever homes. Well, now you know where they all got their good looks from! Paloma was rescued in the field at the end of July by our Humane Officers along with 8 puppies less then a week old. 

Some adoptions are just meant to be! Cute little Boscoe's new family met him for the first time back in July at C.A.R.L's Pooch Parade at San Buenaventura Beach. 

Last Wednesday was a wonderful day for senior sweetheart Elmer! Elmer arrived as a stray in the beginning of August in poor condition. Though we had no formal background on this adorable little fellow, it was clear he had lots of love to give.
