Welcoming in the New Year!

By Franki Williams

It is hard to believe that we are already close to one week into 2016. This time of year people all over begin to wrap up the old and start making plans for the new. One popular tradition is the New Years Resolution. This coming year why not set resolutions for you AND your pets! Your pets may benefit from many of the same goals you set for yourselves such as more regular exercise and dropping a couple pounds; what a great way to work as a team!

By Franki Williams

Dear Friends: As this year comes to a close, we look back on our achievements and are thankful for the support we received from the community. Each year the Humane Society of Ventura County continues to grow and expand its reach throughout the community. In 2015 our adoptions alone were up nearly 20 percent from the previous year with over 500 animals finding their forever homes. Over 1100 animals were spayed or neutered in our clinic including 164 free surgeries through our Pit Bull program. Every animal that found a home, received proper medical care, was given love and attention from our staff and volunteers; was made possible by your concern and generosity.
