(Sylvie Belmond | CLAIR – Simi Valley, CA) — Looking for a loyal companion? A playful pup? A cuddly cat? Or maybe even a unique pet you never expected to fall in love with?
We’re delighted to introduce “Forever Friends,” a weekly feature dedicated to shining a light on the amazing dogs, cats, and other animals right here in Simi Valley and Ventura County that are patiently waiting for their forever homes. Each week, we’ll introduce you to a special pet—sharing their story, personality, and what makes them the perfect match for the right family.
Thousands of animals find themselves in shelters through no fault of their own, and with our weekly highlight, we hope to help them connect with local, loving humans. Whether you’re ready to adopt, foster, or simply spread the word, every little bit helps!
Stay tuned each week as we bring to you these adorable, adoptable animals from area shelters and rescues. Who knows? Your next best friend might be already waiting for you, right here in Simi Valley!
Why Adopt a Shelter Pet?
Adopting a shelter pet means saving a life and giving an animal a second chance. Many of these pets have been abandoned, or lost, and they’re waiting for a kind heart to bring them home. Adoption not only provides a pet with the security and happiness they deserve, but it also opens space in our local shelters and rescue groups for more animals in need. Plus, these pets are often already spayed/neutered, vaccinated, and ready to go—all they need is you!
In addition, Clair’s new pet section will feature stories covering everything from adoption and training to pet-friendly spots in Simi and care advice. Whether you’re a seasoned pet owner or welcoming a furry friend for the first time, we’ll have helpful insights to make your journey even more rewarding.
Big or small, shelter dogs can be great companions—not just for people, but for other pets too, including cats.
We’d love to hear about your successful pet adoptions! Share your heartwarming stories and photos with us. Leave your comment below—your story could inspire others to adopt their own forever friend!
