Humane Society of Ventura County The Humane Society of Ventura County is a private nonprofit animal shelter dedicated to promoting the
(364)

Nestled in the rolling hills of the picturesque Ojai Valley lies a 4.4 acre hidden treasure for wayward animals. Founded in 1932, we here at the Humane Society of Ventura County have been servicing not just the animals of the Ojai Valley, but all of the animals in Ventura County. Traditionally, an animal shelter is thought of as solely a place for animals to seek refuge until a permanent home can

be found. While here at the Humane Society of Ventura County we provide this safe refuge, we also strive to remedy the greater problem of animal overpopulation, abuse and neglect. We are dedicated to promoting the health, safety, welfare, compassionate care and protection of all animals in the Ventura County through education and community outreach. All of our programs, services and outreach are funded one hundred percent by donations, memorials and sponsorships. We are not affiliated with the Humane Society of the United States nor do we receive funding form the city, state or federal government. With the help of many volunteers and continued financial support through donations, memorials and sponsorships we will continue to provide for all animals within our county.

Nyle is still waiting for the forever home she deserves. This sweet 2-year-old gal has so much love to give πŸ’›

She's happiest when she's cuddled up with her people, and she's one smart cookie who loves showing off all the knowledge she's learned. Whether it's a walk, a car ride, or a cozy afternoon on the couch, Nyle is just happy to be by your side ✨

This little mermaid is ready to be someone's loyal best friend. She'd be happiest as the center of your world in a home without other pets or young children, where she can soak up all the love and attention for herself πŸ’•

Ready to give Nyle the forever home she's been dreaming of? Stop by the shelter at 402 Bryant St. in Ojai any day from 10 am to 6 pm to meet her 🐾

Not yet ready to adopt? You can still make a huge difference by fostering Nyle and giving her the comfort of a home while she waits for her forever family. Reach out to our Foster Program Specialist, Julie, at [email protected] to learn more 🐢

If you’re planning to adopt a dog or cat, it’s important to be prepared. Dogs and cats can both undergo serious stress during a time of change. The good news is there are practices to help them in this transition:

🏠 Set up a special room for your pet, introducing them to your house slowly. This room will have their bed, food, water and toys, and will be their safe space until they get adjusted. Limit your visitors during this time and let your new friend adjust at their own pace. πŸ’™

As the Humane Society of Ventura County, we have a commitment to our animals AND our community. πŸ’š

Our goal is to find homes for animals in our care, and to support the families that take those animals in. We offer low-cost spay/neuter and vaccination clinics at our Ojai shelter along with our mobile clinic out in the county. With the cost of veterinary care rising nationwide, we understand the importance of finding low-cost services.
