Safe Haven: Help for Pets of Victims of Domestic Violence

If you are in an abusive relationship and fear for your pet’s safety if you leave, Ventura County Animal Services (VCAS) can help.  First, please contact Ventura County’s Interface Program (VCIP) by dialing ‘211’ or (805) 485-6114.  VCIP personnel are aware of the VCAS Safe Haven program.  When the time is right, you will bring your pet to the Camarillo Shelter, where they will be placed in a temporary foster home with a loving and caring VCAS foster family.  Your animal will not be listed anywhere online.
