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.
Yesterday morning was Adoption Counselor Kendra's first day of a 2 week life-changing adventure at the San Diego Humane Society Academy. Kendra has been at the Humane Society of Ventura County for over a year. When she returns in 2 weeks Kendra will join the staff as our newest Humane Officer.
Trooper is a beautiful 3 year old Pointer and Dalmatian mix who was surrendered to the shelter just a couple weeks ago. Trooper is full of energy but still minds his manners like a perfect gentleman. He loves people of all kinds and other dogs, though no cats for this guy.
Thank you to everyone who attended this past weekends Cats in the Canyon and Hounds in the Hollow event! We hope everyone had as much fun as we did. It’s an incredibly good feeling for the HSVC family to have been able to look out into the crowd and see all your smiling faces in support of animals in need throughout the county. This may have been our most successful year yet!
MARK YOUR CALENDAR! Tickets are on sale now for the Humane Society of Ventura County's 9th annual fundraiser Cats in the Canyon & Hounds in the Hollow scheduled from 2-5 p.m. Sunday, Sept. 27, at Boccali's restaurant, Ojai.
A very special thank you to volunteer extraordinaire Nancy Talley! If you have adopted from us in the past few months you may have received one of these adorable portraits. Nancy has been painting these mini pet portraits of our shelter animals to be given to their new families as a keepsake.
All Kudo wants in life is companionship. This handsome 4 year old Labrador Retriever and Cattle dog mix is all about love and friendship, and he has a ton to give! Kudo originally came in as a stray with cuts on his face and head and a skin irritation. We were able to locate the previous owners and they felt it would be best for Kudo if they surrendered him to us.
It's hard to believe these photos were taken only 2 days apart. Minnie was surrendered to Humane Officer Vail in the field on September tenth along with an adorable hamster named Mr. French Fry. Both animals were living in extremely poor conditions. Upon arrival one of our staff members got Minnie all cleaned up, and by day two she is just as happy as can be!
