The Humane Society of Ventura County will hold its ninth annual “Cats in the Canyon & Hounds in the Hollow” fundraiser on Sunday, September 27, at Boccali’s Pizza and Pasta Restaurant in Ojai.

The Humane Society of Ventura County has provided continuous support and services to animals in need and their owners throughout the county for over 83 years. Besides their Adoption Center the shelter also is home to a low-cost Spay and Neuter Clinic, Pet Food Bank, Humane Education Programs, and Ventura County’s only two Humane Officers who investigate cases of animal abuse and neglect. All of these programs are made possible by the support and generosity of the public.

The Humane Society of Ventura County is a NO KILL, private, non-profit 501c3, organization founded in 1932. The HSVC does not receive any direct financial assistance from city, county, state agencies or National Animal Welfare Organizations such as The Humane Society of the United States and the ASPCA. Fundraising events, such as this, are what keep the shelter’s doors open and our dream of finding a home for every animal in the county sustainable. The staff and volunteers of the HSVC need you more then ever to provide a safe place for animals in need.

We are returning to Boccali’s Pizza and Pasta Restaurant, located at 3277 E. Ojai Avenue in Ojai on Sunday, September 27^th, from 2:00pm to 5:00pm. Our guests will; enjoy a vegetarian Italian dinner under the oaks; shop for donated items and services at our popular “Buy It Now” marketplace; visit with our animal friends looking for new homes; and listen to live music provided by The Main Street Jazz Band!

“This is our major fundraiser for the year and we are looking forward to celebrating with the public all of our accomplishments as well as what the future will bring. We hope to see many friends, both old and new, enjoying great music and food under the beautiful oak trees at Boccali’s while raising the funds necessary to keep the shelter growing to meet our communities needs” said HSVC Shelter Director Jolene Hoffman.
