Humane Society of Ventura County

Amanda...on the right....has been around here quite a bit lately volunteering and working on a college project. She's been helping getting the word out about all the amazing animals we have available through social media.  We (HSVC staff and volunteers) can't help but fall in love with the animals here at the Shelter and Amanda is no exception. Seems that Roscoe stole her heart.

Congratulations to Pearl and her new family! Pearl is an eight year old Chihuahua who was brought in as a stray in February. She was found with another stray dog that we named Opal. 

Astro was with us since November 28^th, 2014. He came in as a stray and we estimated he was about three years old. He is an interesting mix of Labrador Retriever and Rottweiler - his paws showed it with their unique coloring. 

Pal is a friendly palomino gelding who was seized by our Humane Officers last September because he was neglected and extremely underweight. It can take several months for horses to regain weight...it's a slow process that must be monitored closely by a veterinarian. He's been with us for six months and what a difference! He looks great and has a clean bill of health! Pal was adopted today by Vienna! What a fantastic new beginning for him!

Congratulations to Opal (now named Midnite) and Nancy! Midnite is a 14+ year old Chihuahua who was brought in as a stray on February 16th. Midnite has numerous tumors on her underside that would worsen if removed due to her age and other factors. Besides her medical condition Midnite is a lively senior with lots of sass! One of our volunteers saw her story in our Weekly Wag Newsletter and contacted us immediately to see about giving her a place of her own to enjoy her golden years.

Fiona has a new family! Not only a great new owner, Amy - also a boxer buddy named Wyatt!!

Look who went home together...two best friends! Jojo (left) was surrendered to us last October because of a landlord issue. Dodger (right) was brought in last September as a stray! They were next to each other in the kennels and were best buddies in the play yard. We are so excited that they were both adopted today by Mary and Barry!

Oscar was a transfer to our Shelter from Ventura County Animal Services about a month ago. He was recadopted, by Zachary, Jeremy, dad Motti and mom Jana (not in pic). What is special about this adoption is that Zachary (left) raised and saved all of the money for Oscar's adoption fee by making and selling orange juice, doing chores, and saving his birthday money & allowance. He has been saving since last August! Needless to say, we are all very impressed with this young man! Good job Zachary!! Oscar is one very lucky dog!!!

Congratulations Mandarin! Shelter staff and volunteers have been waiting for this day for a long time. Shelter senior Mandarin (17 years old) has left the building!

Today was a very special day at the shelter! Porter, our longest dog resident went home with his new family! Porter was brought in as a stray on April 07, 2014. Throughout his stay in our care Porter was always a bright little guy, ready to play, eager to please. Our volunteers and staff could never figure out what was taking so long for this good looking fella to find a home of his own.
