Our Services
Medical Care Funding
At the Agoura Animal Care Center, all animals- cats, dogs, horses, goats, or others- have access to essential veterinary care funding through HHA. This funding encompasses a wide array of services, such as examinations, x-rays, surgeries, diagnostic lab work, medications, and support for nursing mothers, their offspring, and orphaned litters.
Forever Young
HHA’s Senior Wellness Exam program, honoring Matthew Young, provides diagnostic and remedial veterinary care to animals aged 7 and above. Forever Young changes the narrative for older shelter animals, ensuring their health and boosting adoption rates. This initiative has made the Agoura Animal Care Center a leader in senior pet adoptions in LA County.
Foster Care
Support for animals needing recovery and orphaned kittens and puppies. LA County Animal Care and Control foster volunteers provide post-medical recovery care for shelter pets, funded by HHA. This includes surgical aftercare, rehabilitation, and caring for motherless kittens and puppies. Frequent medical intervention and close monitoring, which fosters provide, saving countless tiny lives with HHA’s support.
Raising The B.A.R.
The raising the B.A.R program was created in loving memory of Blake Anthony Rosen who grew up at the Agoura Animal Care Center where his mom Denise was the Manager for 17 years. B.A.R. encourages and supports the staff-approved transfer of animals needing medical care from high-intake centers to Agoura where they’ll have access to HHA medical services and increased adoption.
Education
When choosing an HHA funded animal from Agoura Animal Care Center, potential adopters speak with an HHA board member to discuss the animal's medical treatment, ongoing care, and lifelong needs. All medical details are provided for an informed decision. Adopters receive full medical records and a contact number for post-adoption questions.
Hospice
HHA provides hospice care for animals not ready to cross the rainbow bridge. Foster volunteers from Agoura Animal Care Center offer homes for these animals to live out their remaining time. Basic palliative care keeps them comfortable, and HHA-supported private veterinarians ensure life is not extended beyond humane limits through constant monitoring.

When I first met Brooklyn, she had come from a tough background and was in desperate need of medical help. Thanks to Healthcare for Homeless Animals, her life was saved. HHA provided her with the critical care she needed to recover and thrive. I adopted Brooklyn from the shelter, and now she lives her happiest life in a loving home. I’ll forever be grateful to HHA for giving Brooklyn a second chance and bringing such joy into my life.

Healthcare for Homeless Animals is the reason our beloved cat, Artemis, was able to become part of our family. They provided him with the incredible care and medical treatment necessary to rehabilitate him after he sustained life threatening injuries and illness. They gave him a second chance at a forever home, and we are so lucky to be his people. HHA continues to be part of Artemis’s lifelong team of friends and family today.

Alexa came into the Animal Care system from a hoarding case in 2022, neglected for 6 years. After a year in the kennels as evidence, she was transferred to Agoura Animal Care Center in 2024. Healthcare for Homeless Animals (HHA) funded nearly $5000 for her vet care. Despite months with little interest, I fostered and then adopted her. Listening to the hundreds of pages of medical records print made me realize just how much HHA had done for her. Alexa has been my greatest support since losing my 16-year-old pug Maxim and is now living her happiest life.

Healthcare for Homeless Animals is a unique organization that understands the importance of providing much-needed medical care for shelter animals that are sick, injured, neglected, or abused. We know that healthy dogs, cats, and other shelter animals that receive proper medical care are far more likely to be adopted. Malibu Coast Animal Hospital is honored to work closely with HHA, partnering in their effort to provide shelter dogs and cats with the quality veterinary care they deserve so they can find their forever home.
