The Humane Society of Ventura County is a compassionate care shelter and non-profit organization dedicated to the protection and adoption of animals in need throughout Ventura County.
Some of our biggest supporters are also our youngest. Just in time for back to school, we are giving away free piggy banks while supplies last!
Thank you Gianna! Gianna stopped by the shelter yesterday to drop off treats for the animals (and staff) that she purchased with money she raised from doing chores and helping to feed her neighbors rabbit.
Dear friends, earlier this month we kicked off two campaigns to help cover the cost of extensive surgeries for 2 dogs in our care, Mimi and Dodger. Since that time both dogs have had successful surgeries and are already in the process of recovering here at the shelter and in a foster home. The two surgeries combined have cost the shelter $7,238.65, and with the support of our community we have already raised $1,606 of this amount.
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!
A very special thank you to Rincon-Vitova Insectaries for their continuous donation of a natural fly control remedy for our horse barn and corrals.
Madeline is a 19-year-old bay quarter horse mare that has been at the Humane Society of Ventura County since 2014 when she was rescued by our Humane Officer from a life of extreme neglect.
Ojai has been particularly hot for the past two months and the Humane Society of Ventura County has not been spared. The animals in the care of the HSVC have been looked after closely by the staff and volunteers during the extreme heat.
In the past few months we have asked for our communities support to help cover the medical bills and care for several dogs here at the shelter that have been in need of extensive veterinary care. The support from our community has surpassed our expectations and as a result we have been able to provide top quality care to the animals who rely on us for their wellbeing. Yet there is still more work to be done.
