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 time of year the great outdoors seem to be constantly on our minds. Spending time outside, hiking, swimming, camping, or whatever it is that calls to us is always more fun with our canine friends by our side. We are fortunate here in Southern California to have beautiful weather year round, but our warmer weather also makes for the perfect climate for venomous snakes.
Look at these cuties! Benny and a Chance got a spa day over at Puff N Fluff Pet Grooming in Meiners Oaks last week and oh boy, did they come back happy!
This handsome young man is our new friend Shadow! Shadow is a 7 month old German Shepherd and Siberian Husky mix who was rescued in the field by our Humane Officers nearly two weeks ago.
We would like to give a very special thank you to a local young man whose generous heart brought many gifts to animals in need! Six year old Zen is a frequent guest at the shelter and he and his mother can often be found keeping the kittens company.

This little sweetheart is Pinky! Though we haven't known Pinky for long she has already stolen all our hearts. Initially on the shy side, Pinky warms up fast. Her gentle persona and bright eyes bring joy to everyone who meets her.
As temperatures rise, shady areas become a hot commodity at the shelter. With our kennels close to capacity more areas where animals and humans can rest and relax is essential to their health and safety. Animals can suffer from heat stroke and other heat related illnesses in a variety of ways and here at the shelter it is a top priority to make sure that all animals, volunteers, and staff keep cool during these hot summer months.
The cats and kittens of the Humane Society of Ventura County need your help! Shelters everywhere are finding themselves filled to the brim with young cats and kittens, often more cats then they have room for. Here at the shelter we are facing that very problem this summer.
