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.
UPDATE: We were all so happy to receive the following update on our dear Mandarin who was at the shelter for over 6 months before she was adopted about 4 weeks ago. We estimated that Mandarin was between 15-17 years old. It takes a special person/s to adopt a senior animal, but as you can see the rewards are priceless! We have quite a few senior animals at the shelter now hoping to one day have their own "senior retreat".
This little angel is Opal. Opal was brought to us as a stray with her buddy Pearl on February 16th. We estimate that Opal is about 14 years old, she is a black (and gray) Chihuahua, and she is quite lively!
Coming soon to Lake Casitas! The first annual Dog Jog will be a fun event for people who love animals and want to support our local Humane Society.
Toby is a handsome male, white and black Chihuahua - Smooth Coated. He is about 7 years old, and he has been at the HSVC since Jan 27, 2015. Toby is very sweet and he loves treats and company!
TA DA! The new Dog Yard is complete! Thank you again to Sue and Alex Saraceno and Eileen Laber from Aqua-Flo for their generous monetary donations to make this happen. And a very special thank you to the lively crew at EcoLawn in Santa Barbara for doing the wonderful installation job. We are all so pleased!
Mr. Whiskers is a handsome male, gray and white Domestic Shorthair. He is about 4 years old, and he has been at the HSVC since Feb 06, 2015. Mr. Whiskers is not your average cat! Although he is an indoor cat, he is harness trained and likes going for walks just like a dog!
HSVC has offered a $500 reward for the ARREST & CONVICTION of the person or persons responsible for the death and abandonment of two Pit Bulls left in an Dogloo dog house on the side of a road in Santa Paula. Both dogs were severely emaciated and had been starved to death. The Humane Society of the United States (no affiliation) has now offered an additional $5000 reward. Please contact Officer Brian Bray at the Department of Animal Services at 1-888-223 PETS for more information or to make a report.
