The Los Angeles Auto Show has named PetSet its official charity partner for its 119th edition and is launching Road to Home for the Animals with Healthcare for Homeless Animals. The fundraising and awareness campaign runs through December 6, 2026, including the November 19 Media and Industry Day, AutoMobility LA, and the Los Angeles Auto Show from November 20 through 29. It includes five activations, with proceeds and funds raised received by PetSet and granted to Healthcare for Homeless Animals. Direct donations are available throughout the campaign, helping fund medical care and recovery support for shelter animals at Agoura Animal Care Center.

A Benefit Among Cars

The Benefit, an Auto and Music Experience, takes place Friday, November 20, 2026, from 7:30 to 10:30 PM inside The Motoring Club in Petree Hall near the West Hall entrance at the Los Angeles Convention Center. More than 20 exotic, specialty, and custom automobiles, including a curated Porsche collection spanning generations, will form the setting for the PetSet Acoustic Music Experience, artists performing among the cars, a DJ, and a digital auction accessible from any phone.

General Admission is $125 and VIP is $250, available through Eventim. Full campaign details are available at www.roadtohome.org.

Terri Toennies, President at Los Angeles Auto Show, stated:

“The Los Angeles Auto Show has always been about bringing people together through car culture and community. For generations, the auto and entertainment industry, families, friends, and enthusiasts have gathered around a shared passion that connects Southern California with audiences across the country and around the world. Through Road to Home for the Animals, and in support of PetSet’s mission, we’re proud to use our platform to help create brighter futures for animals in need,”

Adoption And Auction Days

Adoption Days on Saturday, November 21 and Saturday, November 28 will introduce Auto Show attendees to dogs from Agoura Animal Care Center that are looking for homes. Interested adopters will continue the adoption process through the care center, and adopters receive available medical history and treatment information because Healthcare for Homeless Animals helps fund the dogs’ medical care.

The Road to Home Auction is open through Giving Tuesday, December 1, to the campaign’s close on December 6. It runs online and at the PetSet exhibit from November 19 through 29, offering travel, entertainment and sports opportunities, VIP experiences, lifestyle experiences, and unique items donated by partners and supporters.

The Los Angeles Auto Show Auction opens Monday, November 23 and refreshes daily through Sunday, November 29. Presented by Road to Home for the Animals and partnered with SuperStars, it offers automotive and mobility experiences and memorabilia on the show floor and online.

Tama Lundquist and Tena Lundquist Faust, co-founders at PetSet, said:

“Every animal deserves the safety, love, and security of a home. Road to Home for the Animals is about turning compassion into action and bringing people together to help more animals receive the healthcare they need and the support they deserve. As PetSet expands into California, we’re proud to launch this effort alongside Healthcare for Homeless Animals and the Los Angeles Auto Show.”

Funding Shelter Care

PetSet has helped raise more than $20 million to advance animal welfare, granted $8 million to more than 100 nonprofit partner organizations since 2007, provided more than $1.7 million in emergency veterinary care since 2007, delivered more than 27,700 free or low-cost spay, neuter, and wellness services since 2022, and transported more than 15,000 pets to rescue and shelter partners across the United States.

Direct donations are available throughout the campaign, helping fund medical care and recovery support for shelter animals at Agoura Animal Care Center.

Tamy Rieder, President at Healthcare for Homeless Animals, stated:

“Healing starts with access to medical care. Every day, shelter animals arrive at Agoura Animal Care Center needing treatment, recovery support, and a second chance. For 30 years, Healthcare for Homeless Animals has helped fund that care, giving thousands of animals the opportunity to heal and find loving homes. Partnerships like this help us continue saying YES when an animal needs medical care, and we are incredibly grateful to PetSet and the Los Angeles Auto Show for helping us bring greater support and visibility to our local shelter animals.”
