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.
This past March, Senior Humane Officer Vail, and Humane Officer Winwood received a complaint about a badly neglected dog. Due to the urgency in the complaint, the officers, who handle cases of animal abuse and neglect throughout the county, responded immediately. What the officers would witness next would be a harrowing sight.
The Humane Society of Ventura County is very lucky to have a diverse group of volunteers to work with our animals. For over 15 years, participants from The Arc organization have been coming to the Shelter to spend time with the dogs and cats and it is a wonderful experience for the animals and the volunteers.
This coming weekend the Humane Society of Ventura County will be participating in a variety of events throughout the area. Keep reading to find out more about an event near you!
