What is the Shelter Hope Pet Shop? The Shelter Hope Pet Shop staffed and managed by Bark Avenue Foundation, houses approximately 25 small dogs and 10 rabbits for adoption from the Ventura County Animal Shelter in Camarillo.
Where can I meet shelter animals available for adoption? The Shelter Hope Pet Shop is located in the Janss Market Place next to Gold’s Gym, 275 N. Moorpark Rd. East, Thousand Oaks, CA. – MAP IT.
With the financial support of the ASPCA to help cover the store’s expenses, we are able to provide a new opportunity to save lives! In addition, thank you to NewMark Merrill for donating the space for the Shelter Hope Pet Shop. Kim Sill, Board Member of Bark Avenue Foundation says, “In this tough economy, with mall vacancies at their peak, it’s reassuring to see NewMark Merrill turning the tables by giving back to their community. There are so many pet stores still in business selling puppy mill dogs. We haven’t beaten these chain stores yet, so we are joining them…but with shelter animals who are priceless!”
California shelters take in close to 1 million dogs and cats per year and the cost to house and euthanize them are approximately $300 million. Even if you don’t find your perfect pet at the Shelter Hope Pet Shop, the staff can show you other available shelter animals!
