VCAS Directorβs Message 11/6: In the last week, 103 pets were adopted, 30 were returned to owners, and 7 went to rescue groups! 129 new animals arrived at the shelter.
We are so grateful for all of these outcomes, especially the adoption of 5 dogs who had been with us for over 100 days. Weβd also like to thank the dedicated folks who help reunite animals outside of the shelter by running the local Missing Pets pages. Our community is SO luckily to have these pages that are monitored so attentively. They are amazing resources for anyone who lost or found a pet.
We are still caring for a total of 264 pets and are in need of your support. Continue to make sure your pets have up to date ID and please reclaim promptly should they end up at the shelter. Are you able to foster a large dog? Please apply at vcas.us/foster. Looking to adopt? Why not give an animal a home for the holidays and beyond? All adoption fees are waived through the end of 2025. $25 licensing fee applies for Ventura County residents.

600 Aviation Drive, Camarillo CA

It was an honor to join so many of our County employees, their families, and community members at Ventura Countyβs first Veterans Tribute and Photo Exhibit. A special evening dedicated to recognizing those who have answered the call to serve both our country and our community.
We reflected on the courage, service, and sacrifice of those who have worn our nationβs uniform, including the many veterans among our County workforce who continue to serve the public with the same dedication and integrity.
To all who have served and to the families who stand beside them, thank you for your service and sacrifice. β€οΈπ

Today, we gathered for the 2025 Annual Fallen Firefighter Memorial ππ―οΈ to honor the brave men and women who dedicated their lives to protecting our community.
Standing beside this memorial, surrounded by firefighters, families, and friends, I was reminded that the names engraved in stone represent more than loss, they represent courage πͺ, compassion β€οΈ, and selfless service.
Our firefighters are more than first responders; they are neighbors, mentors, and the heart of Ventura County π. Their courage reminds us that real heroes walk among us, and sometimes, they give everything to keep others safe.
To our firefighters, past, present, and fallen, and to the families who stand beside them, thank you π. You are what makes this community home π‘.

Great meeting with Ventura County Probation Agency Chief Miller today to discuss ongoing efforts to support public safety and rehabilitation in Ventura County.
This morning, I attended the Grand Opening of Agrominβs Mountain View Food Waste Processing Facility in Oxnard! β»οΈ
This innovative facility will help Ventura County earn valuable diversion credits under SB 1383 by transforming food waste into renewable resources like compost, fertilizer, and clean energy, keeping organic materials out of our landfills and supporting a more sustainable future. π±
Congratulations to Agromin, E.J. Harrison & Sons, and all our community partners for their leadership in advancing waste reduction and environmental innovation!

π§ Safety Update for Ventura County Drivers
Caltrans has announced overnight full closures of State Route 118 (SR-118) between New Los Angeles Avenue and Princeton Avenue as crews begin installing a safety barrier system along the Arroyo Simi Overhead Bridge in Moorpark.
πΉ First scheduled closure:
Westbound SR-118 β 10 p.m. Monday, October 27 to 5 a.m. Tuesday, October 28, 2025
Detours will be in place; please plan ahead and drive safely through work zones.
The issue of suicide prevention on the Arroyo Simi bridges was first brought to the Ventura County Transportation Commission (VCTC) in 2017, following community concerns and incidents dating back to 1994, with most occurring since 2009. In collaboration with Caltrans, the County of Ventura, the City of Moorpark, the City of Simi Valley, and local partners, studies were completed and the project was developed to install permanent preventative infrastructure for the safety of all.
This project represents years of partnership, advocacy, and action to save lives and protect our community.
π If you or someone you know is in crisis or experiencing thoughts of self-harm, please reach out, help is available 24/7 at the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline. You are not alone.

A message from Esteban Rodriguez, Director of Ventura County Animal Services:β
β
Our shelters are over capacity, and VCAS urgently needs the communityβs help with adoptions and rescue support. 263 animals are in the shelter, with an additional 239 in foster care. Of the dogs in our kennels, 61 have been with us for over 100 days, some for over a year.β
β
When animals are in our shelter for too long, their physical and emotional health begin to decline. They become more susceptible to sickness as their immune systems weaken. As stress builds, it becomes increasingly difficult for our staff and volunteers to safely provide the care and enrichment each animal needs. What these dogs ultimately need is placement outside of the shelter system.β
β
Weβre asking our community of adopters, fosters, and rescue partners to step up now. If youβve been considering adoption or fostering, we ask that you choose to adopt from Ventura County Animal Services. Rescues, please rescue animals from Ventura County.β
β
Please share this urgent message with family, friends, and in your own networking groups. Thank you.β
PLEASE NOTE our greatest need is for large dog adopters and fosters. Small dogs and puppies tend to be adopted quickly here and are not the root of our population crisis.

LARGE DOG FOSTER: vcas.us/foster
RESCUE PARTNERS email vcar.rescue@Ventura.org.
*ADOPTION FEES WAIVED THRU END OF 2025 OR UNTIL KENNEL POPULATION STABILIZES*
Had an incredible time volunteering at the Food Share Day of Service! π Together, we packed 1,350 bags to help families in need across our community. Every bag makes a difference! Food Share provides millions of pounds of food each year to local pantries, shelters, and feeding programs. ππ₯« #FoodShare #CommunityStrong #DayOfService #GivingBack
Congratulations to Action Drug Rehab on opening their grand opening in Simi Valley! π
Addiction affects so many lives, in fact, 1 in 6 people struggle with some form of addiction. Nearly everyone has been touched by it in one way or another, whether through a friend, family member, or personal experience.
Having resources like Action Drug Rehab in our community provides healing and support for those on the journey to recovery. π
