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.
The Humane Society of Ventura County fondly looks back at all the help we received from our loving neighbors this year. We want to share a heartfelt thank you to St. Patrick’s Episcopal Day School in Thousand Oaks! The 2nd grade class shares their light with us every year by completing a service-learning project with HSVC.
We had so much fun at Santa Paws! The beloved HSVC holiday fundraiser returned this past Sunday after a four-year hiatus. We were thrilled to welcome our community members and their furry friends back to the shelter to have their photo taken with Santa. Thank you to all who stopped by to support the HSVC and help us make the holidays special for animals in need!
Pino is a sweet Queen mama cat who arrived at the shelter in a box this summer with her five kittens after being abandoned in a parking lot. They were rescued by a loving family and were immediately placed in a foster home for several months. Pino proved to be an attentive, vigilant, loving mama to her baby cats- all who’ve since been adopted into their furever homes. Now it’s Pino’s turn to meet her pawsome people and live in a safe, loving home!
We have not one, but two new horses available for adoption! Please join us in welcoming 28-year-old Mr. P (left) and 3-year-old Bronco (right) to the HSVC family! These handsome boys were each brought to the shelter under separate circumstances, but they are equally deserving of loving forever homes!

We are elated to share seriously pawesome news! Our darling senior furiend Tinsel was adopted by an amazing woman who adores her as much as we do! Tinsel is thriving in the company of her new human, Jodine, and adapting unsurprisingly well to her elder doggo housemate, Rocky, a nearly 14-year-old rescue Labrador Retriever.
Thanksgiving is right around the corner! This special day allows us to shine a light on all the people and things we are thankful for.
