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.
We would like to express our appreciation to Ojai Boy Scout Troop 504 for dedicating time and effort to revitalize our dog agility yard! Troop 504's Reid Wadsworth created the revitalization project and led a team of scouts to clear, repair, and paint our shelter's large agility yard. They braved the Ojai heat on Saturday, July 16th, and did an excellent job! Thank you, Reid, and members of Troop 504!
The HSVC would like to extend a big thank Amy Huynh from Nibbs Club for visiting the shelter and donating much-needed supplies, healthy pet treats, and a generous donation of $650 from the Kirkeby Foundation. We thank you for your generosity, Amy!
Our shelter pups love going on their daily pack walks just as much as our staff and Animal Ambassadors enjoy taking them! Pack walks have many benefits, and not just for shelter dogs! Check out these five tips if you are interested in hosting a pack walk in your neighborhood.

Our Animal Adventure Summer Campers got a special visit on their last day of camp! Thank you to Mandy, Sylvia, Abby, and Heatherlyn of the National Disaster Search Dog Foundation (SDF) for joining us at the shelter and teaching our campers about their organization! SDF even brought three search dogs, Nala, Hugo, and Ridge, to demonstrate their search and rescue skills. What a perfect way to finish up summer camp!
A big thank you goes out to young animal-lover Ava for donating to our shelter to help animals in need! Ava recently hosted a lemonade stand in her neighborhood and raised $107 for the animals of the HSVC. Wow! This is her second time donating to the shelter and we are so touched by her kindness. HSVC Executive Director Eric Knight was on had to accept her generous donation. Way to go, Ava!
We are thrilled to share that Mila has found her forever home thanks to our friends at Bay Area Balanced Dog Training! She was adopted by a lovely family and will even be gaining a fellow Malinois big brother in her new home!
