Halloween costumes are on-sale now at the HSVC! We have a good selection of (mostly small-medium) costumes for dogs and cats. We are asking for a a donation of $5 for each costume. All proceeds go to benefit our Spay and Neuter Program! Thank you to the kind folks who donated these awesome costumes to help raise funds for animals in need!
The HSVC is happy to report that thanks to the overwhelming support of our community and volunteers we were able to provide our dogs with an improved play yard over the weekend. You may recall about a month ago we sent out a call to our supporters to help with funds to repair a few of our yards. We ended up raising more than we expected and were able to purchase the materials necessary to put up new siding on all of our big dog yards!
Hello friends! Moto-Moto here, cat ambassador to the Humane Society of Ventura County and I would like to talk to you all about Halloween Pet Safety! Halloween is just around the corner and it’s time to start preparing your family pets for the festivities. Halloween can be an often frightening and confusing time for your animals and without taking the proper precautions it could turn into a real nightmare! Start preparing today for this weekends big event and avoid any surprises the big night!
This handsome cat is Huxley. Huxley came in as a stray on December 17, 2014. We estimate that Huxley is about 5 years old. He currently lives in our Cat Room with up to 20 other cats so he is accustomed to having lots of other fur friends! Huxley loves attention and is quite fond of being pet which can be very therapeutic! If you are interested in spending time with Huxley please ask a kennel attendant to help you as we have 5 other black cats in the room as well (he is the one with the white whiskers).
