HOW TO HELP YOUR LOCAL ANIMAL SHELTER: Ventura County animal shelters are at 143% capacity going into the July 4 holiday.
IF YOU FIND A STRAY DOG:
VCAS asks that individuals who find dogs who have gotten loose make every effort to reunite dogs and families outside of the shelter.
If you are able to secure the animal SAFELY:
- Create a found report at vcas.us/lostandfound
- Post to social media, including local Missing Pets pages and NextDoor
- Call phone numbers or scan any codes on their collar
- Canvas neighborhoods near where they were found
- Take the animal to a Veterinary Clinic to get scanned for a microchip.
- Make posters with bright backgrounds that include: 1) A single big picture highlighting the pet`s face, 2) location found, and 3) your contact info.
If you are able to foster the animal until it can be adopted or responsibly rehomed, please reach out to discuss best practices.
Shelter locations remain open 9AM-6PM all week, with limited Animal Control Officer staffing at night. We appreciate your patience and dedication to caring for the animals and people in our community.
We will always accept sick, injured, or aggressive animals.
All of this information, additional tips, and a list of pets recently reported as lost or found is located on our website at vcas.us/lostandfound.

Help! We’ve reached 143% capacity and with the anticipated increase in lost pets due to 4th of July fireworks, we are in CRISIS MODE! To help ease the strain, we’re holding an EMERGENCY FREE* Dog Promotion June 27 – July 13. View dogs at vcas.us/dogs.
----------
*Promotions DO NOT guarantee the adoption of a shelter pet. All interested parties must participate in the full adoption process to ensure the best possible matches are made. Promotions do not include the cost of a pet license if applicable.
MYTH SURROUNDING FREE ADOPTIONS
There’s a persistent myth that free adoptions encourage animal abuse or neglect. This is simply not true. People with harmful intentions overwhelmingly avoid official adoption pathways which require screening and adoption counseling. They don’t want their pets spayed/neutered, nor do they want them microchipped where that animal can lead back to them. Instead, they seek (purchase) animals through unregulated sources like Craigslist.
Our adoption counseling process remains incredibly strong regardless of promotions, and we always reserve the right to deny an adoption if we don’t feel a good match has been made. Our priority is placing pets in safe, loving homes—we will never adopt out an animal simply to make space.

I had a great time joining the Simi Valley Rotary Clubs at the Simi Elks Lodge to help serve a well-deserved appreciation lunch to the dedicated team from Rancho Simi Recreation and Park District. 🌭🌳 It was a small way to say thank you for the big impact they make every day in our parks and community spaces. #CommunitySupport #RSRPD #SimiValley #RotaryClubs #ThankYou
Yesterday, I hiked out to the site of the Wallis Annenberg Wildlife Crossing, a landmark in ecological restoration and wildlife conservation. 🌿🦉 This project will span ten lanes of the 101 Freeway, reconnecting habitats in the Santa Monica Mountains and the Simi Hills.
Fragmentation from roadways is one of the leading drivers of habitat loss and genetic isolation for species like mountain lions, bobcats, and deer. This crossing enables safe wildlife passage, restoring gene flow and reducing roadkill, a vital measure for preserving regional biodiversity. It’s backed by wildlife ecology, conservation genetics, and advanced engineering to ensure effective habitat connectivity.

We had such a fun and informative time at Wildfire Safety Day at the Reagan Library! 🚁🔥
It was exciting to watch the Firehawk helicopter perform a water drop and then land right on the lawn! Meeting our local firefighters, exploring the fire trucks, and learning practical safety tips made the day both educational and memorable.
And let’s be honest, the goats were a hit 🐐💚
Thank you to everyone who came out and to all the agencies who made this day such a success. #WildfireSafety #VCFD #EmergencyPreparedness #ReaganLibrary #CommunityFirst #FireSafeVC

Wildfire Safety Day at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Foundation and Institute is a free, family-friendly event focused on education, emergency preparedness, and community safety. As wildfires become a more frequent threat, being ready is not just smart—it is essential.

At 11:00 a.m., the Ventura County Fire Department`s Firehawk helicopter will perform a water drop, followed by a landing on the South Lawn where you can meet the crew. At 11:30 a.m., watch a lawn mowing demonstration to highlight the importance of vegetation management.
