Humane Society of Ventura County

Congratulations Benji! Benji had been at the shelter for 9 months before his new family came in to take him home. This sweety arrived at the shelter on April 26, 2014 as an owner surrender.

Handsome (now named Havoc) won the hearts of of staff and volunteers when he arrived at the shelter in the beginning of August. Handsome was brought to HSVC in the back of a police car when he was found alone in his home with his deceased owner.

This adorable litter was surrendered to the shelter right before the holidays on December 19th. They were dropped off first thing in the morning and due to some cancellations our spay and neuter clinic was able to fit them in that morning!

We are always so excited when one of our long-time residents is adopted! This one is extra special because Teensy, now named Leon, was with us for over seven months and he was adopted by Sue and Alex!! I'm sure a lot of you recognize Sue....she is one of our volunteers who works with socializing and training the dogs to make them more adoptable. If you want to know something about one of our adoptable dogs...just ask her! We can't thank her enough for her dedication to these deserving dogs!

We are all in agreement.....this is a perfect match! This sweet little dog is (was) Tootsie and now her new name is Peggy. She was surrendered to us when her owner went to a nursing facility. Peggy is 10 years old! She was only here for two hours when Delores came in, saw her and adopted her!

We have big news! On Monday our dear Bandit was adopted! Bandit had been here since February 24, 2014, and at the time of adoption was our longest dog resident at the shelter. 

Back in 2003 I decided to get a cat of my own.  I knew I wanted to adopt an adult cat from the Humane society instead of a kitten, but at that point I wasn’t quite sure what I was

There is a couple who over the years have brought their group of Shetland Sheepdogs in, just to visit, knowing that we love to see them. But today, they came for a different reason. They came to adopt our Lizzy. In the group
