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.

Hi, my name is Sierra.I'm a 10-month-old Pit Bull living in a car with my mom. Two years ago, my mom's home was declared unsafe because of structural damage, forcing her to leave. She's been experiencing homelessness ever since, and now we face life's challenges together. Through it all, we have each other for comfort and companionship.One day, while we were out for a walk, I got away from my mom and chased a cat. Before I knew it, a car hit me, breaking my left hind leg.My mom was terrified. Even though she couldn't afford veterinary care, she rushed me to an emergency veterinarian, determined to get me help.The veterinarian took X-rays, confirmed my leg was broken and placed it in a splint, all at no charge. But I needed surgery to repair the damage, and the procedure would cost thousands of dollars.My mom immediately began searching for assistance. That's when she found Feeding Pets of the Homeless and completed an Emergency Veterinary Care application.After I was approved, my case manager worked with the emergency veterinarian to transfer my medical records to a local veterinary hospital willing to perform the surgery. The veterinarian generously agreed to provide much of my care at no cost.I underwent surgery to repair my broken leg and, during the same visit, was also spayed and received my vaccinations.Now I'm back with my mom, recovering from surgery and getting the chance to heal by her side. I'm grateful she never gave up on finding the help I needed. 💙Feeding Pets of the Homeless contributed $2,000 toward my care.My mom did everything she could to help me after my accident. Thanks to compassionate veterinary professionals and supporters like you, she didn't have to face the cost of my surgery alone.Your donation can help the next pet facing a veterinary emergency receive the care they need and stay with the person who loves them. Donate today! ...
