Frequently Asked Questions
Eastwood Ranch Foundation (ERF) is a nonprofit animal rescue based in Agoura Hills, California, dedicated to rescuing dogs and cats in need, providing them with care, and finding them loving homes. We also work to address pet overpopulation through spay/neuter and community programs.
Eastwood Ranch Foundation is a privately-run animal rescue, not a public municipal shelter. We bring dogs and cats into our care from high-intake shelters and crisis situations, provide veterinary and behavioral support as needed, and work to place them in permanent homes.

Animals adopted from ERF are spayed or neutered, microchipped, and receive appropriate veterinary care, socialization and support while in our care. Adoption fees cover only a portion of the cost of rescuing, caring for and placing each animal in a loving home.
