About Bhodi (Bull terrier) in Camarillo

Bhodi is waiting for you at Ventura County Animal Regulation in Camarillo, CA 93010. This dog has been waiting for a home since April 2025 and is currently one of our highest priority pets due to the length of stay and the challenges he’s experiencing in the shelter environment.

They told us they rescued him from an abusive home as a young dog, and tried their hardest to give Bhodi the best life. He did guard food bowls in the home, and at times had charged up to strangers barking, but never injured anyone.

They rehomed him with family, but later found out that Bhodi had ended up at our shelter, and they made the incredibly difficult decision to leave him up for adoption in hopes of finding him a better life.Recently, staff have noticed that shelter lif
