Celebrating 87 Years of Service to Ventura County
  Stop by the Humane Society of Ventura County on June 8 and help celebrate its 87 years of nonprofit service to the animals of Ventura County. The HSVC’s Open House & Birthday Bash will run from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Saturday, June 8, at its Ojai shelter facility, at 402 Bryant St. Get a behind-the-scenes peek at its facility, participate in the barking or meowing contest, tour the kennels, meet the staff, and learn about different volunteer opportunities. Visitors also will have the opportunity to meet Dr. Christina Sisk, the HSVC’s new director of veterinarian services, and tour the state-of-the-art spay and neuter clinic. Bring the whole family to enjoy refreshments, participate in a treasure hunt, make bandanas for your dogs, and learn more about how you can make a difference in the lives of animals in need. The HSVC’s Humane Officers will be on hand to give a look at the responsibilities and duties involved in protecting animals throughout the county, and Ma and Paw Kennel will be there, providing information and answering questions about rattlesnake avoidance for you and your dogs. And the folks of Firefly Ceramics will be back with their Tiles for Tails program, where participants paint tiles to be permanently displayed at the shelter, for a $25 donation. Of course, a visit to the shelter would not be complete without the main attraction — the animals. “There will be a full house of critters available for adoption,” said Greg Cooper, director of community outreach for the HSVC. “You never know when you are going to meet your new best friend.” “The Humane Society of Ventura County has a rich history strengthening the bond between humans and their pets throughout the county,” Cooper said. “Our annual Open House & Birthday Bash is an opportunity to celebrate our community’s achievements in making Ventura County a leader in animal compassion and welfare.” In hosting this popular longtime event, the HSVC offers special thanks for the support of its community partners: IDEXX, Bliss, Firefly Ceramics, Stephen Adams Photography, Ojai Ice Cream, Lucy in the Sky, Artemis, Ma & Paw Kennel, Starbucks Ojai, Vons Ojai, and Sam’s Club Oxnard.
