Continued overcapacity at the Camarillo Shelter has caused a respiratory illness outbreak, with 13 dogs currently being treated (down from 22). To help prevent further spread, we need empty kennels as buffers between sick and healthy dogs. To free up space, we’re offering fee-waived dog adoptions until this is under control. Thank you!

Report Animal Abuse/Neglect

Animal cruelty encompasses behavior harmful to animals ranging from neglect to physical abuse and malicious killing.  Most cruelty investigations often reveal unintentional neglect, rather than intentional abuse.  Such situations can be resolved through education.  Intentional cruelty or abuse is knowingly depriving an animal of food, water, shelter or veterinary care.  Intention abuse is maliciously torturing, maiming, mutilating, or killing of an animal.  Use the form below to report a case of animal abuse or neglect.  You can submit the report anonymously if you wish.  If you prefer to mail-in a paper report, please print this page, complete it to the best of your ability, and mail to:

Ventura County Animal Services
Attn:  Humane Officer
600 Aviation Drive
Camarillo, CA 93010
