We have big news! The HSVC is happy to inform our supporters that Odin, our resident tri-paw has found his forever home! Odin and his story is one we will never forget.  We are sure many of you will recognize his smiling face if you have visited the shelter in the past 5 months. It seems like ages ago since Odin was brought to the shelter by our Humane Officers after responding to a call from the Ventura County Sheriff’s Department regarding a dog with an exposed bone in his foot that has was eating away at. When Humane Officers arrived on the scene, they saw Odin tied to the fence with no food, water, or shelter. Odin was taken directly to a veterinarian by our Officers and after examination it was evident the leg would need to be amputated.

We have good news! Jean Grey has found her forever home! Last week a wonderful family adopted her. Jean Grey first arrived at the shelter as a kitten on September 25th of last year with quite a few of her siblings. Her brothers and sisters found new homes very quickly, however Jean Grey was timid and ended up being overlooked over and over again. Jean Grey grew up in our kitten room and when she was big enough moved in with the adult cats. She made lots of feline friends but was never quite sure of humans.
