Bertha was left behind at a hotel and her previous owners never came back for her ( I hope they at least paid for her room). She was scared and confused but never lost her sweet disposition. All she wants is to be loved and feel safe. She spent time in a foster home and her foster family can’t stop gushing over her.

She is coming out of her shell a little more every day, and with a patient, loving new owner, we know she will blossom and be the happy dog she deserves to be. Can you be the one to give her the chance at a new life? Bertha A682393

Hi: I’m Desi a beautiful Catahoula / Am. Staff. Terrier mix. Although I don’t look like it or act like it, I’m 8 years old. I’m good with dogs with proper introductions, but prefer to be the only dog in the home. I do not care for cats at all(they never listen to me). I do great on a leash and would make a great walking or jogging partner. I also enjoy the water. I’m available to foster or adopt!

Bogey is a shelter favorite. He has been in foster and according to foster mom is house trained, learns quickly, loves his toys, was friendly with kids and takes treats gently. Bogey is also well mannered enough to be one of the few dogs chosen to represent VCAS to visit a nursing home. Bogey A668533 Ventura County Animal Services – Simi location – 670 W. Los Angeles Ave.

Hi: I’m Lady a very easy going 11 years young Labrador Retriever X who enjoys playing a little fetch. I’m in need of a new home because my elderly owner is no longer able to take care of me. I’m great with children, but no cats please. I know some basics – come, sit, shake and lay down. I love attention and playing with toys. I walk great with a slip leash across my body like a sash. I’m not reactive to other dogs except when treats are involved. I’m a great girl and I hope it’s not long before I’m a cherished member of a loving family. I’m available to foster or adopt!

Hi: I’m Dougie (the doggie)an affectionate and outgoing 5 year old Dachshund / Spaniel X who is in need of a new home because my owner moved and I couldn’t go too. No cats please and I’m choosy with other dogs so if you already have a fur baby in the home, please bring him/her along so we can do a meet and greet. I enjoy walks and chew toys and a backyard to run around and explore in. I need an adult only home as I don’t enjoy people in my face and I need to be introduced to new people gradually. Once I know you I’m cuddly and playful. I’d make a great companion for someone who stays at home or would take me along for errands. Stop by and meet me, I may be the one you’ve been looking for.

McDonald was found as a stray at Lake Casitas which is a notorious hunting ground for coyotes. Little guy is lucky to be alive and his people never came looking for him. It’s no wonder he is a little shy. We have found that he does well in play group and pack walks with other dogs. He also has his own fan club of volunteers who are giving him attention. We think he is adorable. You can find him in kennel #404. Ventura County Animal Services – Camarillo Location – 600 Aviation Drive

Hi: I’m Rascal a sweet 10 year old Chow/Shar Pei mix who was rescued from Animal Services. I’m a big teddy bear who loves to sleep, cuddle, lay on your lap, get my ears rubbed and eat treats. I get along with some dogs. So if you have a canine companion in the home, please bring him/her so we can do a meet and greet. I would do best in an adult only home. I got to go into a foster home for a week or so and proved I am the perfect house boy. My manners are excellent and I go to the door to let you know I need to go out.

What this elegant little lady might lack in traditional beauty, she more than makes up for in loyalty and devoted companionship. She is intuitive about where she needs to be in your life – always present at precisely the right time. She is a powerfully calm presence and would do well in a similarly calm household without other pets, though she does get along with other cats. Not as playful as the younger crowd, she is older and wiser and would like someone who might enjoy sharing an afternoon in a sunny spot. Whitney is currently in foster care and is waiting patiently for her furrever family. Ventura County Animal Services – Camarillo location – 600 Aviation Drive -Whitney A661107

Sofia is a 54 pound, gray shadow who loves being close to people. She is calm, leash-trained and totally shameless for treats. Will sit for food.

Sofia was recently in a short term foster. Here is what foster mom had to say about her.

Hi: I’m Desi a gorgeous 8 year old Catahoula / American Staffordshire Terrier mix who loves to play and be around people. I was one of many dogs rescued from a raid in El Rio several years ago. Those days are long behind me and I’m waiting for someone to come and take me home.

I’m energetic and cuddly and I love the water. I would make a great jogging partner as I run along beside you. I’m house trained, good with respectful children and good with dogs with proper introductions.

I’m grateful to be given a chance to know the true meaning of being a cherished member of a loving family. We’ve been through a lot and I hope we all find our forever homes really soon. Canine Adoption and Rescue League C.A.R.L. Adoption Center-call 644-7387 for more information.

Luna is a gorgeous white Siberian Husky with the prettiest blue eyes you will ever see. Her previous owner states that she got along well with the other dog in the house as well as the three year old child. She walks well on leash and is housebroken VCAS Luna A678452.

Jasmine was originally adopted from VCAS in 2010 but has come back to us as a stray. Previous notes on her indicate that she is a sweetheart of a lap dog that wiggles and gives kisses. She previously lived with other dogs and kids. We don’t know how she ended up abandoned, but this girl is in dire need of a foster or adopter to provide her comfort for the time she has left. Jasmine has cancer and deserves to spend her golden time in a soft loving home. Contact our foster coordinator if you are interested in providing hospice care for her!

Hi: I’m Bentley an affectionate 8 year old American Staffordshire Terrier / Labrador mix. I’m in need of a new home because my owner travels too much and doesn’t have time for me. I enjoy hiking on cool days or just lying in your lap. I’m friendly with people, but choosy with other dogs.

My C.A.R.L. pal Marion takes me for overnight stays at her house sometimes. She said I’m an easy dog, just provide me with a soft bed, a couple of meals a day, a nice walk and some play time and I’ll give you lots of love and enjoyment in return. CARL Adoption Center-call 644-7387 for more information.

Hi: I’m Zero an affectionate and playful 6 year old Border Collie mix who is in need of a new home. I was originally adopted from a shelter in LA, but the people who adopted me could no longer keep me. The person who has me now did not want to see me go back to the shelter, so she took me in. She unfortunately cannot keep me as I do not enjoy being left alone. I’m a great dog who learns quickly, gets along with other dogs, enjoys walks and being with my people. I hope it’s not long before I’m a cherished member of a loving family. Canine Adoption and Rescue League C.A.R.L. CARL Adoption Center-call 644-7387 for more information.

Adoptable Taffy and Amber would like to spread the word that bunnies are happiest and healthiest in pairs. Bunnies thrive when they have companions, and bonded pairs take up no more room in the house than single bunnies. VCAS Bunny Brigade adoption counselors can also facilitate bunny dates for adopters who are looking for a companion for their spayed or neutered single bunnies. To meet Taffy and Amber and witness the playful antics of a bonded pair, please visit VCAS at 600 Aviation Drive in Camarillo and ask for ID #s A674425 and A674426.

Hi: I’m Lady a 10 year old yellow lab mix and I’m just about the perfect size. Big enough to not get lost under your feet while walking but small enough to be a lap dog.
