This annual event benefits the Humane Society of Ventura County and their new program, Pantry 4 Paws. Pantry 4 Paws is an exciting pilot program with pantries located throughout the county providing free pet food to those in need.

Stop by the Homes for Pets Fundraiser & Food Drive to meet adoptable pets, bid on silent auction items, learn about disaster preparedness and puppy training from local experts, have your dog bathed while making crafts with your kids, and, if you are able, dropping off dry dog food or cat food for Pantry 4 Paws.

There will also be food, face painting and local vendors!

Chloe is a one-year-and-one-month-old, spayed, tan and white Chihuahua. Chloe came to the Humane Society earlier this year as an owner surrender because her owner could no longer keep her. Chloe is a very beautiful little dog with a nice soft coat. She loves people, but she would prefer to be adopted by a family with adults only. She has lived with cats, and she's enjoying meeting some new dogs and making friends. She has been on some pack walks and done great on the leash. Chloe would love to be adopted soon, but she's being very patient and enjoying her days in the play yard. She is very playful and she loves toys and treats. She's a special little dog and she will make a terrific pet for the right family.
 
Included with every dog adoption will be the first DHLPP shot of the series, a rabies vaccine, a medical exam good for up to three days from participating veterinarians, implanting an identification microchip (registration extra), spay or neuter surgery, if necessary, as well as a collar, ID tag, and a leash. For dog adoptions, a yard check will be performed prior to adoption.

Mendella is a four-year-old, neutered, gray Havanese Terrier mix. Mendella was surrendered to our Humane Officers earlier this year when it was determined that he needed a new home. Mendella has a sweet and calm disposition, and he has the softest coat! He’s a very good boy, who has learned to trust people again. He loves to hang out in the play yard with his buddies during the day and loves squeaky toys. He has recently gone on some of the pack walks with other dogs, and he’s amazing on the leash! His personality is coming out now, and he’s blossoming. Mendella will need to be adopted by a family who can take the time to continue socializing him and give him lots of love. He will also need to have regular sessions with a groomer, to keep his coat nice and fluffy. Stop by and meet Mendella if you are looking for a lovely little companion dog.

Blaze is a seven-year-old, neutered, tan Chihuahua. He came to the Humane Society recently through no fault of his own. Blaze came to the shelter with his sister Sugar and the two enjoy each other’s company. You can often find them curled up together in one of our dog play yards, enjoying the sunshine. Blaze has a go-get-um attitude and enjoys his walks. This little guy can sure zoom around and is always excited to see you. Blaze does have a slight limp due to a past leg injury, but it doesn’t slow him down at all. Blaze doesn’t seem to mind other dogs, but we don’t know how he is with children or cats.
