VENTURA COUNTY — Over 40 Siberian Huskies currently reside at the Camarillo and Simi Valley Shelter. Animal Welfare officials believe the increase of this breed’s appearance in local shelters is, in part, due to the popularity of the HBO series Game of Thrones, where Huskies played integral roles.
To help Ventura County Animal Services (VCAS) find homes for these beautiful dogs, they are holding a rather creative promotional campaign called Husky Week, a parody of Discovery Channel’s Shark Week. VCAS is waiving all adoption fees for Huskies (and Husky Mixes) from Saturday, November 11th – Sunday, November 19th.
“It is our hope that these beautiful and energetic dogs can find forever homes in the next two weeks.” Says Randy Friedman, VCAS Marketing Manager. “To make it easier for folks to adopt Huskies, we created a special webpage where all of our Huskies can be seen. That webpage is www.vcas.us/HuskyWeek.”
Thank you,
