HOME BASE
CAMP Headquarters & Veterinary Training Annex
Capital Campaign
A permanent place to call home — for Los Angeles pets, the families who love them, and the veterinarians and staff who care for them.
Every week, CAMP's phone lines fill faster than appointments can open. A senior on a fixed income in South Los Angeles calls about her dog's abscessed tooth — an ER visit would cost more than her monthly rent. A young family in the San Fernando Valley brings in a stray litter they can't afford to spay.
These are the moments CAMP exists for — not just to treat sick animals, but to be the place a pet owner can walk into without a fear of the bill, and know their pet will be seen. It's the same reason CAMP first opened its doors in 2007: because in Los Angeles, the difference between a person keeping their pet and losing them often comes down to a single question — can they afford to walk in the door?
Nearly two decades later, that question still drives everything we do. And it's the same question that drove us to buy a building of our own — a permanent Home Base —in one of the communities that needs our services the most.
The Vision: Home Base
With the purchase of our new building in the Arlington Heights neighborhood of Central Los Angeles, CAMP has taken the single biggest step in our history toward permanence. Home Base will bring our full-service veterinary hospital and our Veterinary Training Project together under one roof for the first time — a facility built to last for generations, not leased year to year.
What Home Base Makes Possible
-
A high-volume spay/neuter hospital treating an estimated 8,000 additional dogs and cats annually, and more than 3.5x the size of our other clinic in the city of Los Angeles.
-
A permanent, dedicated learning center for the Veterinary Training Project.
-
Extended hours, seven days a week, reducing appointment wait times.
-
A community resource hub for outreach, education, and connection.
Fundraising Goal: $6 million
Total Raised: $4.4 million
Total Left to Raise: $1.6 million
Our $6 million campaign goal covers the full cost of bringing Home Base to life: construction, essential veterinary equipment and technology, opening operations, and a reserve for the unexpected. We're building in one of the most challenging construction environments Los Angeles has faced in years — post-wildfire rebuilding has strained both labor and materials countywide — which makes closing this final gap more urgent, not less.
A Special Challenge
An anonymous donor has put up a special $500,000 matching challenge through December 31, 2026 to inspire new gifts to the capital campaign. If CAMP raises at least $500,000 in new gifts by December 31, 2026, the anonymous donor will give $500,000 to CAMP’s capital campaign.
