Help Us Save Lives.
Healthcare for Homeless Animals funds veterinary care and compassionate support to at-risk shelter animals at the Agoura Animal Care Center. We believe all animals deserve the right to medical care and a second chance.
Medical Care
Can Change
Everything.
Too often, shelter animals with treatable conditions face uncertain futures simply because care is expensive. HHA exists to change that. We fund vital veterinary treatment, rehabilitation, supportive foster care, and adoption-focused services so animals at the Agoura Animal Care Center have a real chance to heal, recover, and go home.
We believe good medicine, compassionate care, and community support can rewrite an animal's future.

Medical Care Funding
We fund the treatment animals need to survive and recover.
HHA provides funding for essential veterinary care for animals at the Agoura Animal Care Center — including exams, x-rays, surgeries, lab work, medications, and care for nursing mothers, orphaned litters, and other vulnerable animals. This is the foundation of our life-saving work.
Forever Young
Because age should never stand in the way of love.
Our Forever Young program funds diagnostic and remedial veterinary care for senior animals age 7 and older. Dedicated in honor of Matthew Young, this program rewrites the heartbreaking narrative older animals face in shelters — being the last to find a home and the first to face euthanasia. By helping adopters understand each senior pet's health needs, we make it easier for older animals to be seen, chosen, and cherished.
Foster Care
Healing happens faster in a home.
HHA supports foster care for animals recovering from treatment, including post-surgical cases, neonatal kittens and puppies, motherless litters, and animals needing close monitoring outside the shelter environment. We fund the follow-up care, medications, and support that make foster healing possible.
Animal Transport
A path to treatment for animals who need a better chance.
Known as Raising the B.A.R. — created in loving memory of Blake Anthony Rosen, who grew up at Agoura Animal Care Center where his mom Denise was Manager for 17 years — this program supports staff-approved transfers of animals needing medical care from high-intake centers to Agoura, where they can receive treatment and improve their odds of adoption.
Education
Helping adopters say yes with confidence and clarity.
When an adopter chooses an HHA-funded animal, they receive direct guidance on that animal's treatment, ongoing needs, and full medical history. This education helps families make informed decisions — and helps animals transition into prepared, loving homes.
Hospice
Comfort, dignity, and compassionate care to the very end.
For animals not yet ready to cross the rainbow bridge, HHA supports hospice care in loving foster homes. With palliative care and veterinary oversight, we help ensure these animals are safe, comfortable, and treated with dignity for whatever time they have left.
All Animals Deserve A Second Chance.
Every animal deserves medical care that gives them a real shot at life and a loving home.
That is our mission, and it only happens because of a community that shows up, year after year.
By supporting HHA, you stand alongside 30 years of real impact — and thousands of animals
whose lives were saved and made it home because someone like you said yes.
Lives Changed.
Suffering Reduced.
Futures Rewritten.
Behind every treatment is an animal that gets more time, more comfort, more possibility — and a better chance at adoption. This is what your support makes possible.
"Your support helps fund real veterinary care, practical recovery support, and life-saving interventions for animals who might otherwise go without."

Lives in These Stories.
Every animal we help carries a different story, but the thread is the same — care changed what came next. Excerpts from the HHA blog.
He Needed a Spinal Surgery.
HHA Said Yes.
— The Anderson Family, Thousand Oaks
Charlie arrived at Agoura Animal Care Center with a suspected spinal injury that made it impossible for him to stand on his own. Without intervention, he faced an uncertain future. HHA stepped in immediately, funding a full neurological workup and the spinal surgery he needed. He spent eight weeks in foster care recovering — and in that time, found the family who would make his recovery feel like a celebration every single day.
Alumni Story
Senior dogs are the last to leave and the first to be overlooked. Captain Jack, a 12-year-old Lab mix, proved that wrong. HHA funded his senior wellness panel and dental surgery through Forever Young — and within two weeks, he had a family.

Foster Success
Five bottle-fed kittens, zero ounces each, and one determined foster mom. HHA funded the supplies, formula, and vet checks that kept the Noodle Gang alive — and all five found families before they turned eight weeks old.

Medical Care
Luna arrived with a severe eye infection that threatened her vision. HHA funded the specialist exam and medication that saved her sight. She was adopted three weeks after treatment by a family who saw her clearly — and loved her immediately.
