Animal Samaritans believes in the healing power of animal-human connections. People have recognized this capacity for millenia. It’s part of the reason why our relationships with our animal friends are so meaningful to us. They are bonds as strong as family, and at Animal Samaritans, we honor them as such.
Because of this, AnSams created healing curricula that offer animal companionship as a form of treatment. We bring specially trained animals to hospitals, group homes, correctional facilities, to senior homes and more.
These animal-assisted interventions are endorsed by human healthcare providers as cost-effective interventions for specific patient populations in these various facilities.
It’s some of our most important work. For more information about how you can assist this work, please send us a note at info@animalsamaritans.org or donate below.
Men have forgotten this truth, but must never forget it. You become responsible, forever, for what you have tamed.

Financial Stewardship
We know you have many choices when it comes to how to invest your philanthropic dollars, and Animal Samaritans takes seriously the stewardship of your investment in us.
The Wise Giving Alliance of the Better Business Bureau recommends that nonprofits not spend more than 35 cents on the dollar of its budget on administration and fundraising.
At Animal Samaritans that number is, year over year, close to 10 cents on the dollar. That means the other 90 cents goes to our mission and our services.
That’s just one of the reasons that Animal Samaritans, for more than 4 decades, has been among Southern California’s most trusted animal welfare organizations.
pets. not profits
At our state-of-the-art veterinary clinics, we’re there to provide your animals with the highest quality care, not to make a profit.
Because of your support, we are expanding this mission to broader and more diverse communities.
12,000 Animals saved!
Our Adoption Alliance Rescue Program has saved the lives of more than 12,000 animals. And we’re just getting started. We work with the local shelters to place animals they do not have the resources or staff to handle. Thanks to donations like yours, we do!
