Humane Society of Ventura County

After a long week of animal evacuees being brought to and housed at the Humane Society of Ventura County, we are happy to see so many animals begin the transition back home.

The Humane Society of Ventura County is excited to partner with Calvary Community Church - Westlake Village in Westlake Village for hosting a Pantry 4 Paws dog food pantry.

Thank you to everyone who helped make this year's annual Bowl of Thanks fundraiser sponsored by the Ventura Potters' Guild a great success!

It was eerily calm in the Ojai Valley this morning... most people are going about their daily business despite the fact that Ventura County has had two fires in two days, each impacting thousands of residents and their animals. The Humane Society of Ventura County would also like to have an appearance of normality, but our Shelter in Ojai was staffed 24/7 opening our doors and hearts to those evacuated.

MORNING UPDATE 11/01 9:44 am

Good morning friends. It has been a long night for the people and animals of Ventura County. We estimate that between 100-120 animals were brought to the Shelter throughout the night as a result of the Maria Fire. We are working on getting a full report together, including a full assessment of our needs to share with all of you later in the morning.

The Humane Society of Ventura County is fully staffed and will be open all night accepting evacuee animals of all sizes.

402 Bryant Street. Ojai. 805-646-6505.

Please call ahead if possible to let us know what you are bringing.

Here at the Humane Society of Ventura County, we are continuously impressed with the level of care our community shows to those in need. In the past few weeks, we have all witnessed the tragedies taking place across the state of California as wildfires continue to burn. The past week these fires were felt close to home as the Tick Fire, Getty Fire, and yesterday the Easy Fire, erupted right here in Los Angeles and Ventura Counties.

If authorities ask you to evacuate, please do so immediately, and take your animals with you. The Humane Society of Ventura County still has the capacity for both large and small animals. Our doors are open to you.

When possible please let us know you are coming by calling 805-646-6505.

The Shelter is located at 402 Bryant Street in Ojai.
