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.
It's National Volunteer Appreciation Week and everyone here at the HSVC would like to give a big THANK YOU to all the volunteers both past and present who support us!
Congratulations to Sadie Mae and our Humane Officers who had a big win in court today! Sadie Mae, a 10 year old Thoroughbred Mare, was seized in the field and brought to the shelter on September 9, 2014 after being found in severely poor condition. It took nearly 19 months for Sadie May to get justice for the neglect committed against her
How "cool" is this! A very special thank you to Alberto and Noam who spent their Saturday assembling a gazebo they donated down by our dog yards!
On April 8th, handsome Frank will have been at the shelter for one year. This incredibly sweet guy can be a bit on the shy side but once he gets to know you he is very open to affection.
As the weather begins to warm up it is important to make sure your dog is properly groomed. Keeping your dog groomed is an essential part of dog ownership and a responsibility that is often overlooked or ignored. Here at the shelter we see animals every day whose grooming needs have not been tended to. These animals are often in distress and more likely to have behavior issues when they are not comfortable in their own skin.
One year old Mona is quite the catch! This 9 pound Miniature Pinscher mix is the perfect size for someone looking for a small dog but also an activity buddy!
For those who enjoy the outdoors with your dogs or those backed up to hillsides and in rural areas, rattlesnakes can be a great risk to your dog requiring emergency medical care. Rattlesnake avoidance training will teach your dog to avoid the sight, sound and the smell of a rattlesnake to give you peace of mind.
