In 2023, the Angel Fund contributed $9,000 to pet owners
challenged by the cost of care for their four-legged family
members. Angel Fund wants to help you and your patients.
Our cooperative venture with the Animal Health Foundation

pet owners throughout Los Angeles and Orange counties.
The cases have ranged from major medical conditions to challenging surgical procedures,
but the common thread is pet owners with real financial need, who want to
