Alex Golden, a 14 year old young man working on his Eagle Scout project brought in 40 new beds for the animals! Alex sought out donations from a variety of different sources for awning material, pvc pipe and hardware. He then spent two months of his own time drafting and building these wonderful new additions to our kennels. These new beds keep dogs a few inches above the ground to help with arthritis, warm and cool temperatures. He also created a blanket to go on each of the beds to make them extra cozy. 
The animals are already loving these wonderful beds! Thank you Alex for your love and commitment to the animals here at HSVC! See more photos of Alex’s project on our Facebook Page!
We would also like to thank the companies that helped by donating materials to this project: Jason at B&B Do It Center in Augora Hills, AAA Awnings in Garden Grove, Awnings Plus of Ventura, Home Depot and John and Linda Golden (Alex’s parents).
My name is Fu Manchu and I came to the shelter back in February of 2011. I am a smooth coated Chihuahua mix. My family at the shelter doesn’t understand why I am still here. I am sweet, housebroken and love to be around all different types of people. I enjoy going for walks with the volunteers and playing with my other Chihuahua friends. I would make a great companion dog!
Hello, my name is Magoo and I am a 7 year old Pomeranian. My family at the shelter say that I am very loving fun to be around. I like other animals, children and adults alike. I am housebroken and like to curl up on your lap. However, I do like to chase cats so a home with cats might not be the best fit.
Hi, my name is Harvey and I am a 7 year young Chihuahua/Rat Terrier mix. I am very playful, loving, housebroken and full of spunk. I would do great in a house with other animals or with someone who could spend some time with me.
