Are you thinking about getting your daughter or son a pet this holiday season?

Well Ventura County Animal Services (VCAS) is getting in on the Black Friday madness by offering discounted pet adoptions on all dogs and cats. Beginning on Black Friday, Nov. 28, and continuing through the weekend, on Saturday, Nov. 29 and Sunday, Nov. 30, VCAS will reduce the regular $125 adoption fee to only $20.

“We hope that Ventura County residents will look beyond merely purchasing material goods this holiday season and open their hearts and homes to a furry new family member,” said Tara Diller, VCAS Director. “There is no better and lasting gift than the love and companionship that goes hand-in-hand with pet ownership.”

VCAS currently has hundreds of animals waiting to be adopted at their Ventura County Animal Adoption Centers in Camarillo and Simi Valley. Over the Black Friday weekend, adoption counselors will be on hand from 11 a.m. – 6 p.m. in Camarillo. The Camarillo center is located at 600 Aviation Dr.

HOLIDAY EVENTS AT VCAS
On Sunday, Dec. 14, , from 12 – 4 p.m., Santa Claus will make an early visit to Ventura County when he stops by Ventura County Animal Services’ (VCAS) Camarillo Pet Adoption Center, 600 Aviation Dr., to participate in the agency’s first annual “Santa Paws” fundraiser.



Dogs, along with their families, are invited to have their photos taken with Santa for a $20 donation. In addition, VCAS will provide discounted rabies shots, pet micro-chipping and license renewal services on site. 

All dogs must be leashed and accompanied by their owners. For more information, contact Yvonne Tello, VCAS Volunteer Coordinator, at: (805) 765-5890 or VCAR@ventura.org.
