In Loving Memory

For all creatures, great and small.

In loving memory of Blake Anthony Rosen, Healthcare for Homeless Animals established Raising the B.A.R. to carry forward his love for all creatures, great and small.

Blake passed away in 2023 at just 25 years old. To honor his memory, Raising the B.A.R. continues to help animals in urgent need receive the medical care that may give them another chance.

How It Works

From a high-intake shelter
to another chance.

Raising the B.A.R. helps make it possible for Agoura Animal Care Center staff‑approved sick or injured animals from high-intake shelters to be transferred to Agoura when specialized medical care may give them another chance.

  1. A transfer is approved

    Agoura Animal Care Center staff may approve a sick or injured animal from a high-intake shelter for transfer to Agoura.

  2. Medical care is funded

    Healthcare for Homeless Animals helps fund the exams, diagnostics, procedures, surgery, medication, and other veterinary care the animal needs through our veterinary partners.

  3. A new chance begins

    With treatment, recovery, and time, that animal has another opportunity to heal and find a loving home.

The Journey

On the road to a second chance.

Sometimes another chance begins with a car ride to Agoura and the care waiting on the other side.

Why It Matters

A transfer can change everything.

For some sick or injured animals at high-intake shelters, access to specialized medical care can open a path that was not available before. Raising the B.A.R. helps make that care possible once an approved animal arrives at Agoura Animal Care Center.
