The first annual Dog Jog will be a fun event for people who love animals and want to support their LOCAL Humane Society. The idea started with three friends from Ojai who wanted to help make a difference in the lives of homeless animals in the area. Tera Pupa, Loree Pryce and Tonya Peralta wanted a fun way to bring people together and raise much needed funds for their local animal shelter. Hats off to these wonderful ladies. A great big thanks for all their hard work. The Dog Jog is a 5k Fun Run/Walk for people. We would LOVE to have dogs participate but it presents too many logistical issues for our first 5k.

A LETTER FROM THE PRESIDENT
As we approach a new year, we want to thank the many people who made 2014 such a success. As an animal welfare and rescue organazation, we have made great strides in improving animal’s lives. We also want to thank our dedicated staff. Thanks to their loving care and concern, we have placed hundreds of animals in good homes. We are proud of HSVC accomplishments this past year... wThanks to the addition of a second surgical room in 2012, our clinic staff was able to perform approximately 2,000 spay/neuter proceedures in 2014. wThe Humane Education Program has provided classes promoting humane care for all animals to thousands of children all over Ventura County. wThe HSVC Volunteer Program has continued to grow this year; 550 volunteers have donated 10,000 hours of their time. Wow! wThe Humane Officers have responded to hundreds of calls regarding animal neglect and abuse. wThe big news this year is that a new Humane Investigations van was recently purchased and designed to transport animals safely. We still have a major challenge ahead of us; the renovation of the dog kennels. Our existing kennels are over 30 years old. While they are safe and functional, they are in need of improvement and modernization. This is our huge goal for 2015. We are excited! We believe that 2015 will be an even better year because of the generosity of folks like you and the hard work and dedication of our Volunteers and Shelter Staff. A happy and healthy New Year to all of you. Onward and upward! Sincerely yours, Cyndy Treutelaar

Oliver’s Report Happy New Year to all my special friends. It’s going to be a good one with lots of great activities this year. Check out our new web site, and sign up to get regular updates on my furry friends. Want to donate to our wish list online? You can, on Amazon.com. And, while you’re online, I am still hoping for more friends to connect with me on Facebook. Check me out. “Houndstooth” sounds kind of funky to me, but after that dog came up to me with dragon breath, now I get it. So please get your dog’s teeth cleaned. Glad I don’t have teeth. Just need a beak cleaning; I wonder if they do that. The Dog Jog in March sounds like a spectacular event for adults and kids. Sign up now to help all of our friends at The Shelter. Enjoy a 5k walk or run at Lake Casitas, along with music and food, or just kick back and enjoy the view. For those who do not know me, my name is Oliver Bird. I am the resident mascot at the Humane Society Shelter and I have a noise box that won’t stop. I have lived here for 23 years. I will be 28 years old on March 22. If your child has a birthday, bring him or her to The Shelter and I will sing them my favorite song. Thanks for all my peanut butter crackers, and keep ‘em coming! Until next time, your feathered friend, Oliver
THE HUMANE SOCIETY INVESTIGATIONS DEPARTMENT
GETS A NEW VAN Humane Society of Ventura County’s Board of Directors surprised its Humane Officers and staff with an early holiday gift that will help them protect animals throughout the County - a new, specially-equipped Investigations Vehicle. Director of Investigations, Jeff Hoffman, realized the Humane Society’s aging fleet needed to be upgraded and the Board of Directors agreed. Hoffman contacted Scott Luttenberger, Ojai resident and fleet manager at Paradise Chevrolet, who has adopted pets from the Humane Society. Luttenberger offered to provide very favorable pricing for the vehicle to help keep it affordable for HSVC. The van, newly purchased at Paradise Chevrolet in Ventura, was converted for investigations of animal abuse and neglect with the help of Ojai resident Bill Brothers, owner of Humane Services International (HSI). His company specializes in converting all types of vehicles for use by animal welfare agencies to benefit their animal protection work. HSI has been up-fitting vehicles for animal care and control agencies for over twenty-five years. The vehicle will be used by Humane Officers when they investigate possible

cases of cruelty as well as the rescue of animals during disasters. It is designed to provide maximum safety and comfort by providing individual housing units to protect animals and reduce disease transmission. The entire van is completely climate-controlled with individual air ducts into each kennel. It also features emergency safety lighting as well as “scene lights” to aid in night rescues. Hoffman and the HSVC Board wanted a new look to their vehicles to best represent the Humane Society. Heather Balaam, who worked at the HSVC for many years, and now specializes in graphic design, provided her services. Jolene Hoffman, longtime Shelter Director, was thrilled by the new vehicle. “We’re really excited about what this vehicle will do for our Investigations Division and for the animals our officers protect. It’s a huge step forward
for us.” Jeff Hoffman stressed that having the right equipment can reduce costs to the Humane Society as well as provide a more humane experience for the animals. “For example, the new vehicle can be completely disinfected quickly and easily after potentially sick animals are transported.” Funds for this vehicle have been raised in part by our vehicle donation program which is facilitated by Jeff Kroll, a long time volunteer at HSVC. Kroll has been instrumental in helping the Humane Society for approximately 10 years obtaining donations of used cars, trucks, RV’s, boats and motorcycles which are, in turn, sold to help fund needs such as the new Investigations van. If you would like to donate a vehicle please call Jeff Kroll at 805 640-8128 or 890-1486. Or visit our website at hsvc.org to learn more and to start the donation process.

A LETTER FROM BENJI A Happily Adopted HSVC Dog
Hi to my friends at HSVC! I know you are all busy taking care of all my furry brothers and sisters. I hope everyone is staying warm enough. My new clothes were too little, so I have to wear Valentine’s pink jacket until my new threads come. Gammy told me no one would see me and not to worry about looking like a girl. Of course you can use my story if you want to. It has always been my secret desire to be a published author. I didn't share that with anyone because it seemed an impossible dream for a boy with no thumbs. My mama told me to dream big and I WILL. Thank goodness for my friends and editors at HSVC who fixed my typos!

FREE SPAY & NEUTER
FOR PIT BULL AND PIT BULL MIXES LIMITED TIME ONLY HSVC REACHES OUT AGAIN TO HELP VENTURA COUNTY DOG OWNERS WITH SPAY & NEUTER COSTS
The HSVC is pleased to announce that on January 1st we began offering FREE spay or neutering for Pit Bull and Pit Bull mixes for a limited time. The Humane Society of Ventura County began its first Free Spay and Neuter Program for Chihuahua and Chihuahua mixes in August of 2012. To date HSVC has spayed and neutered 1,039 Chihuahuas throughout Ventura County! This program has saved the lives of countless numbers of dogs.
Low cost spay and neuter appointments are available for all other breeds from 5-80 pounds and five years or less. *Dogs over five may qualify, call for more information
The single most important thing we can do to save cats and dogs from the suffering that overpopulation causes is to spay and neuter them. After over two years of FREE spay and neutering for Chihuahua and Chihuahua mixes, the program came to an end on Dec. 31st so that we could launch our Pit Bull program. The Pit Bull Spay and Neuter Program will run for as long as we are able to fund it. If you would like to make a donation directly to this program all you need to do is specify PITBULL on your check or online donation. A very special thank you to Dr. Thompson and Dr. Lewis, our Clinic staff, our Board of Directors, and, of course, all of our supporters who have made this program financially possible. YOU make a difference!
COMING IN MARCH
To The Humane Society Shelter and Adoption Center No more need to worry about cost or about having your pet put under anesthesia to have its teeth cleaned. The skilled and gentle folks from Houndstooth will offer their services at the Shelter on the third Saturday of each month beginning in March. Don’t wait for your pet to develop nasty breath, or worse yet, gingivitis or other infections. The fee is only $140 and 15% of the fee will be donated to the HSVC. Call Houndstooth Pet Dental to make your appointment.

DONATION ROUTE BUSINESSES
BUSINESSES HELP WITH
DONATION BOXES The Humane Society depends entirely on donations from the community to operate. When it comes to the care of animals in need, every penny counts! Even a few dollars can help feed an animal for days. In one month a donation box can make a substantial difference in the life of a homeless animal. Every time you drop your change into one of our donation boxes, located at local businesses throughout the county, it will help animals in need! You can be confident that each penny is helping to provide food, medical attention and spaying/neutering for animals housed at the Shelter until they find their forever homes. We would like to thank our Donation Route Volunteers who, each month, collect and transport these funds to the shelter. These volunteers go above and beyond to create relationships with businesses and promote the mission of the Humane Society. DONATION ROUTE VOLUNTEERS Shirley Defazio Barbara Berns Melanie Grey Linda Bissig Lynette Malone Carol Bley Celeste Warr Alix Byrd
Of course none of this would be possible without the multitude of businesses throughout the county who host one of our donation boxes! Thank you for your support!
