Humane Society of Ventura County

The Humane Society of Ventura County was happy to join the Ventura Marathon Expo on Saturday, February 26 with adoptable dog, Shiloh in Downtown Ventura! The HSVC is a proud and gracious charity partner of the Ventura Marathon since it began in 2013. Since then, the marathon has raised over $18,000 for our compassionate care shelter and $2,300 in 2022 alone!

Aria's rowdy bunch is one week closer to becoming available for adoption! They are now 7-weeks-old and growing rapidly. Our staff and Animal Ambassadors are having a blast teaching them how to play with toys, though lately it seems they like to chew on shoes more! True to their puppy nature, each of these energetic cuties will need a little help learning their manners when it becomes time to find a forever home.

The Humane Society of Ventura County is offering free FVRCP (upper respiratory) vaccines for cats and free DHPP (distemper/parvo) vaccines for dogs all March long courtesy of our friends at Petco Love! Stop by one of our low-cost vaccination clinics on March 24th or March 31st to receive a free FVRCP or DHPP vaccine for your pet. Walk-ins are welcome from 1 - 3 pm on March 24th and from 12 - 3 pm on March 31st. First come, first served while supplies last!

HSVC staff recently wished a very happy 93rd birthday to longtime friend of the shelter, Allyn Wilkinson. Allyn and his sons, Dan and Dean, stopped by the shelter for a special celebration complete with decorations, cupcakes, and our entire staff present to sing happy birthday to Allyn.

Aria's puppies are getting so big! Now 6-weeks-old, each pup is as adorably fluffy as the next with personalities to match. They love playing tug-of-war with toys, wrestling with their siblings, and of course, following mama Aria everywhere she goes. 

February 22nd is World Spay Day! This day is celebrated each year to increase awareness of the need for spay/neuter surgeries in animals across the US. It's also a great opportunity to educate pet owners about the benefits of sterilization. 

The HSVC is very excited to announce that after several months of closed doors, we are officially OPEN! Visitors are welcome to stop by the Shelter any time during business hours Monday - Saturday from 10 am - 5 pm to walk through and visit the animals.

Happy Valentine’s Day from Mama Aria and her fur babies! We want to thank everyone who helped us shower our new furiends with love by donating toys and treats to the HSVC! What a purrfect way to celebrate V-Day!
