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
In 2010, we expanded our mission with the launch of the Sleeping Crate Program after learning that many unhoused individuals would rather remain on the streets than enter a shelter that would not accept their pets. Their love and loyalty run deep, and we believe no one should have to choose between safety and their companion.Since the program began, we have shipped 656 new metal collapsible crates to domestic violence and homeless shelters in 16 states. Each crate costs more than $61, including shipping, and becomes the property of the shelter to reuse for others in need.With every crate, we help a shelter say “yes” to a family in crisis who refuses to abandon their pet.Fewer than one in five domestic violence shelters in the United States currently offer pet-friendly services. That means many survivors still face an impossible choice: stay in danger or leave their beloved pet behind. With your continued support, our Sleeping Crate Program is helping to change that: one crate, one shelter, and one family at a time.Learn more: petsofthehomeless.org ...
