The horse program at the Humane Society of Ventura County is facing an uncertain future, and we need your help to ensure its survival.

The upcoming expansion of the Ojai shelter plans to eliminate the horse department to make room for the long over due upgrade to its kennels'. Supporting the horses & updating the dog kennels does not have to be mutually exclusive. Please join our fight to keep the horses in Ventura County Cared for.

For over 30 years this vital program has provided rescue, rehabilitation, and rehoming services to horses in need, offering them a second chance at life. Every year, countless horses are saved from neglect, abuse, and abandonment thanks to the dedicated efforts of staff and volunteers. They have also played a critical role in disaster response, particularly during the California wildfires by acting as an emergency shelter for evacuated livestock.

The humane treatment of horses is a cause that resonates with animal lovers everywhere, especially in our agricultural community. The horse program not only serves horses but also enriches our community by providing educational programs, volunteering opportunities, and a chance for people to connect with these incredible animals.

Despite its importance, the program is at risk. We believe that with community aid and a commitment to safeguarding our equine friends, we can turn the tide. By supporting this petition, you are voicing your commitment to keeping this essential program alive. Every signature can highlight the community's interest, and urge local authorities to take action.

We urge you to sign this petition to stand with us in preserving an invaluable program that plays such a crucial role in horse welfare in the Ventura County area. With your support, we can ensure that these horses receive the care and love they deserve. Let's make a difference together and secure the future of the horse program at the Humane Society of Ventura County.
