The 119th Los Angeles Auto Show Names PetSet Its Official Charity Partner and Launches Road to Home for the Animals

Every Animal Deserves Care, Love and a Home.

New fundraising and awareness campaign marks PetSet's expansion into California while supporting the lifesaving work of Healthcare for Homeless Animals.

LOS ANGELES, Nov. 12, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- The Los Angeles Auto Show is proud to announce PetSet as the official charity partner for its 119^th edition with the launch of Road to Home for the Animals, a fundraising and awareness campaign presented by PetSet in association with the Los Angeles Auto Show and in partnership with Healthcare for Homeless Animals.

The campaign launches today and runs through December 6, 2026, anchored by the eleven days that make up the show's Media and Industry Day, AutoMobility LA, on November 19 and the 10-day consumer-focused Los Angeles Auto Show, November 20–29.

PetSet has spent more than two decades addressing animal homelessness at its source by investing in prevention, access to care, lifesaving services, and long-term solutions. 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. PetSet's advocacy and awareness efforts helped build momentum for Texas' recent allocation of $13 million to expand spay and neuter services statewide.

The Campaign

Road to Home for the Animals is brought to life across five activations:

The Benefit — Auto and Music Experience, on 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. Set against a backdrop of more than 20 exotic, specialty, and custom automobiles, including a curated Porsche collection spanning generations, the evening features the PetSet Acoustic Music Experience, with artists performing among the cars, a DJ throughout the evening, and the campaign's digital auction, accessible from any phone.

The evening brings together automotive enthusiasts, community leaders, members of the automotive and entertainment industries, and animal advocates to make a meaningful difference in the lives of shelter animals across Los Angeles County. General Admission is $125 and VIP is $250, available now through Eventim with full details at www.roadtohome.org.

"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," stated Terri Toennies, President, Los Angeles Auto Show

Adoption Days — Saturday, November 21 and Saturday, November 28, 2026, bringing the mission directly to Auto Show attendees. Families will have the opportunity to meet dogs looking for loving homes. Participating dogs will come from Agoura Animal Care Center, with interested adopters continuing the adoption process through the care center. Because Healthcare for Homeless Animals helps fund their medical care, adopters receive the available medical history and treatment information for their new pet.

PetSet co-founders Tama Lundquist and Tena Lundquist Faust add, "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."

The Road to Home Auction — Open now and running through Giving Tuesday, December 1, to the close of the campaign on December 6. Online throughout, and on site at the PetSet exhibit during the show, November 19 through 29. Travel, entertainment and sports opportunities, VIP experiences, lifestyle experiences, and unique items donated by partners and supporters.

The Los Angeles Auto Show Auction — Presented by Road to Home for the Animals, opening Monday, November 23 and refreshing daily through Sunday, November 29, on the show floor and online. Exclusive selected items curated for Auto Show attendees: extraordinary automotive and mobility experiences and memorabilia. SuperStars is the auction partner. Proceeds from both auctions benefit PetSet and Healthcare for Homeless Animals.

Direct Donations — Available throughout the campaign, helping fund medical care and recovery support for shelter animals at Agoura Animal Care Center.

Tamy Rieder, President, 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." Proceeds and funds raised are received by PetSet and granted to Healthcare for Homeless Animals.
