VENTURA COUNTY — Ventura County Animal Services (VCAS) currently has over 200 dogs in their care, including 50 who have been at the shelter for more than 100 days and 6 who have been waiting over a year.

To help these long-stay dogs find homes, VCAS has launched the #LongStayChallenge, encouraging shelter volunteers to take dogs “on the town” and create fun, engaging promotional videos to showcase their personalities.

Below are photos and video links from a recent outing with Dino, a 5-year-old Border Collie mix who just enjoyed his “best day out” with a VCAS volunteer.  We are hopeful that media coverage will help Dino — and other dogs in the #LongStayChallenge — find loving homes.
