    We are thrilled to share an update for Morena! The 16-year-old American Quarterhorse was adopted by Jennifer and her daughter, Elisabeth, in late April and has been flourishing in her new home. Morena is one of several horses impounded in the field by our Humane Officers back in August 2022 as part of an abuse and neglect case. After almost one-and-a-half years, the case reached a resolution through the Ventura Superior Court. Both animal owners were charged with two Felony counts of Animal Neglect 597(b) PC. The victory against animal cruelty meant Morena was finally made available for adoption!
