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.
November is Adopt-A-Senior Pet month! Nationwide, rescues and shelters are celebrating the charms and perks of adopting a senior animal. Here at the Humane Society of Ventura County, we believe that age is only a number. Senior dogs will stay in our care until we find a permanent home, foster, or hospice situation.
On Friday, November 8th, the Humane Society of Ventura County responded to a direct call from an owner who was in dire need of help with their horse. The owner had been urged to call the Shelter and ask for help after it became evident that the horse's needs were not being met. Humane Officer Winwood and Veterinary Assistant, Christina Malleck, immediately went to the property to meet with the owner. All parties involved agreed it would be best for the horse to be signed over to the Shelter so that it could receive immediate care.

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.

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.
