GET HELP

We understand the comfort and love that your pet provides. If you are homeless and need help for your companion pet, we may be able to assist you in getting food for your pet, emergency veterinary care, and wellness care.

Pet Food

We have partnered with Pet Food Providers across the nation that include food banks, pantries, soup kitchens and shelters. If you need food or supplies for your pet, please search our resources map for a Pet Food Provider near you and call to see if they have supplies on hand.

Find a Pet Food Provider near you.

Emergency Veterinary Care

Case managers are available to take new cases M-F 9am – 3pm PST.

If your pet experiences illness or injury, please call us. 775-841-7463.  One of our Case Managers will conduct an interview to see if you and your pet qualify for assistance through our Emergency Vet Care Program. If you are eligible, the Case Manager will approve an exam and help you make an appointment for your pet at a local hospital or clinic. While there is no charge to you, we appreciate any payment towards the invoice made to the hospital at the time of the visit.
We do not take new emergency calls after hours or on weekends. Leave a message and a case manager will return your call the next business day. We have case managers working remotely and may be calling you back from a private number, so be sure to answer your phone. If your emergency cannot wait, please reach out to other organizations listed on our State and National resources pages.

Wellness Clinics

If you are a veterinarian that is interested in hosting a clinic in your community, we can help financially and with planning by contacting us.

Other Resources

When Feeding Pets of the Homeless® cannot help, we will direct you to one of the many other organizations that may be able to help with your individual needs. Many organizations have specific missions and criteria that need to be met to qualify. Some resources are specific to breed. Local animal shelters or local chapters of the Humane Society may also be able to help, or know of other organizations local to you. Many SPCA’s offer low cost or free spay/neutering and vaccines.

Success Story: Izzy Hi, I’m Izzy, a 7-year-old Pitbull who stays with my dad at a shelter in Laguna Beach, where we have been experiencing homelessness for a year.I’m my dad’s best friend, so when I started pawing at my ears, he immediately noticed. He went to different stores to buy me medicine, but nothing seemed to work, so he reached out to Feeding Pets of the Homeless to get me back to my usual self again.The vet found out I had a pretty bad ear infection, but luckily, with some antibiotics and cleaning, I am already feeling much better. My dad has been on top of giving me my meds every day, and my ears are shiny and clean!Thank you to Feeding Pets of the Homeless for contributing a total of $261 towards my care!A voicemail from my dad: "...I want to thank you very much for your time and what you're doing for everybody-- you know with the dogs and everything. Bless you for that and keep up the good work.”Donate today to help more pets like Izzy! ... See MoreSee Less
