Grooming Tips For You and Your Dog

By Franki Williams

Last week our Kennel Manager Angela groomed a young dog who had been brought to us in very poor condition. The dog's coat had not been maintained, and there was no choice but to shave him down. The dog's fur was so matted that it came off almost entirely in one piece. While the dog is doing well and scheduled to be adopted very soon, we wanted to share some tips in the hopes of educating our audience about proper grooming!

Thank you Rachel!

By Franki Williams

Thank you, Rachel, for your donation to the Humane Society of Ventura County! This innovative young lady went above and beyond to help support the shelter by baking and packaging 31 bags of dog cookies that she then sold at the Tae Kwan Do studio where she takes classes. It's always a great honor to be the recipient of the hard work and generosity of our community members. We look forward to treating the dogs in our care with Rachel's thoughtful gift!
