UNCONDITIONAL LOVE - LOYALTY - COMPANIONSHIP - PROTECTION

We believe every pet deserves not to be hungry or suffer from an illness or injury.  If you are homeless, or a Veteran, and need assistance caring for your pet, we can help.

A homeless man living in a tent by the river called seeking medical assistance for his companion Deimos, a 9-month old mix. He has been homeless for about a year. Deimos was experiencing weight loss, vomiting, lethargy and shaking of the head for three to four days, and it was difficult to wake up Deimos. We got an exam approved for Deimos with a close by Partner Veterinary Hospital. They got Deimos in super-fast. Once bloodwork and x-rays were performed, they were fast to give Deimos the correct medications and got him feeling better! Deimos' owner thanked us numerous times for saving his best friend!

A man residing in a homeless shelter in Denver, CO has been homeless for four months. He is a disabled Veteran that receives SSI and food stamps. He reached out to Feeding Pets of the Homeless for his 2-year-old male Pitbull named Kechi. The dog had been seen at the ER the day before and was diagnosed with an intestinal blockage. An intake was completed by a case manager and homeless verification was provided by a shelter manager. Kechi was moved to another hospital to complete the surgery for a more reasonable cost. During surgery Kechi was very ill and the vet thought that they may need to euthanize him while on the operating table, but he was a fighter and did great. Kechi recovered overnight in the hospital and was returned back to his owner the next day.

Feeding Pets of the Homeless
Hi, my name is Livie Love.I'm a 5-year-old Armenian Gampr living with my owner at a shelter in Pittsburgh. We've been experiencing homelessness for more than two years, and life has been filled with uncertainty. But one thing has never changed: the love we have for each other.I'm family, a source of comfort and a reason to keep moving forward.One morning, my owner noticed I was struggling to urinate. When he looked closer, he saw blood and knew something was wrong. He wanted to get me veterinary care, but with limited resources, he couldn't afford the cost on his own.That's when someone told him about Feeding Pets of the Homeless.He went online and completed an Emergency Veterinary Care application. After I was approved for assistance, an appointment was scheduled so I could get the care I needed.The veterinarian determined that I had a urinary tract infection and prescribed antibiotics to help me recover. Thankfully, I was able to return to the shelter with my owner and begin feeling better.💙 Feeding Pets of the Homeless contributed $609 toward my care.Getting help meant I could receive the treatment I needed. For my owner, it also brought something that can be difficult to hold onto during uncertain times: hope.Your donation can help the next pet like me get the veterinary care they need while staying with the person who loves them most.Give today to help keep pets and their people together. ...
