Safe Haven (Domestic Violence)

If you are in an abusive relationship and fear for your pet’s safety if you leave, we can help.  First, please contact Ventura County’s Interface Program by dialing ‘211’ or (805) 485-6114.  VCIP personnel are aware of our Safe Haven program.  When the time is right, you will bring your pet to the Camarillo Shelter where they will be placed in a temporary foster home with a loving and caring VCAS foster family.  Your animal will not be listed anywhere online.  We will get through this, together.
