Humane Society of Ventura County

THIS SATURDAY AT LAKE CASITAS!

We are expecting a beautiful sunny 85 degrees at the lake this Saturday for our first Dog Jog! Friends of all ages are encouraged to pre-register for this Saturday's 5K walk/jog to benefit needy animals throughout Ventura County.

FRANK'S FOOD TRUCK will be at the finish line serving up a variety of vegetarian items as well your more traditional favorites and the one and only BLISS FROZEN YOGURT in Ojai will have her usual array of delicious flavors for you to enjoy! So make sure to bring a few bucks to support these two awesome family owned businesses!

This morning we got a phone call that a Nanny goat and two babies had gotten loose in Oak View from a house where no one could be reached. A nice neighbor called it in and one of our Officers went out to see if she could help wrangle them up.

UPDATE: We were all so happy to receive the following update on our dear Mandarin who was at the shelter for over 6 months before she was adopted about 4 weeks ago. We estimated that Mandarin was between 15-17 years old. It takes a special person/s to adopt a senior animal, but as you can see the rewards are priceless! We have quite a few senior animals at the shelter now hoping to one day have their own "senior retreat".

This little angel is Opal. Opal was brought to us as a stray with her buddy Pearl on February 16th. We estimate that Opal is about 14 years old, she is a black (and gray) Chihuahua, and she is quite lively!

Coming soon to Lake Casitas! The first annual Dog Jog will be a fun event for people who love animals and want to support our local Humane Society.

Toby is a handsome male, white and black Chihuahua - Smooth Coated. He is about 7 years old, and he has been at the HSVC since Jan 27, 2015. Toby is very sweet and he loves treats and company!

TA DA! The new Dog Yard is complete! Thank you again to Sue and Alex Saraceno and Eileen Laber from Aqua-Flo for their generous monetary donations to make this happen. And a very special thank you to the lively crew at EcoLawn in Santa Barbara for doing the wonderful installation job. We are all so pleased!
