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.
HSVC Cares is still offering FREE spay/neuter surgery for dogs and cats (including community and unowned cats) for those living North of Main Street (Ventura) near Ventura Avenue through Casitas Springs! Ventura Avenue resident Kurt (pictured) recently brought in his adorable Pitbull, Devi, to be spayed for free. Thank you for helping us in our mission to reduce pet overpopulation in our county, Kurt!

As residents of Southern California, we have grown accustomed to the dangers of wildfire season. As pet owners, it is important to have a disaster preparedness plan in place in case of an emergency. Horses and livestock require special considerations when planning for the event of a disaster. Fortunately, there are a number of things large animal owners can do to prepare in the case of an emergency or evacuation.
As summer temperatures continue to soar, it is important to remember that pet-friendly surfaces are often much hotter than they seem. Even cooler days can be potentially hazardous to your furry friends. To prove it, our staff used a heat gun to take the temperature of common surfaces around our property in Ojai. The results are shocking!
