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.

We have a really special letter to share with you from Jax's owner. First, read Jax's story: Hi, I’m Jax.I’m a 1-year-old Labradoodle, and I live with my mom in a motel. We’ve been here together for a while - doing our best to get by.One day, I was doing something I love… chasing a bird. But then I tripped and landed hard on my front leg. It swelled up fast, and I could barely walk. It really hurt. My mom was so worried and she didn’t know what to do.She found Feeding Pets of the Homeless online, and everything changed. After talking with a case manager, they got me in to see a veterinarian right away.At the clinic, I got X-rays, lab work, wound care, injections, medications and even a splint to help my leg heal. They gave me an e-collar too, which I wasn’t thrilled about but it helped me stay safe while I recovered.A week later, I had to go back to get my splint changed. Then again the next week for another adjustment and more pain meds. But thanks to all that care, I’m healing and back by my mom’s side where I belong.💙 Feeding Pets of the Homeless contributed $1,398 to help me recover.Thank you for helping me get back on my paws again!-------------------------------------------This is why your support matters:Dear Pets of the Homeless Team, I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to express my deepest gratitude for the financial assistance you provided in 2022 for my dog, Jax, when he tragically broke his arm. Your support was an absolute blessing, and I truly don’t know what I would have done without your kindness. At the time, Jax’s injury was not only physically painful for him but emotionally overwhelming for me as well. Being a pet owner, it’s hard to see your beloved companion in pain, and the financial burden of medical care felt insurmountable. Your assistance made it possible for me to get Jax the treatment he needed and for us to navigate through that difficult time.Thanks to you, Jax made a full recovery and is back to his happy, energetic self. Every time I see him running around and wagging his tail, I am reminded of the impact your organization has had on our lives. You not only helped a dog in need but also provided me with peace of mind during a challenging moment.From the bottom of my heart, thank you for caring about animals and for being there for those of us who struggle. Your generosity means more than words can express. I will always be grateful for your support and will continue to share the word about the wonderful work you do.With sincere thanks and warmest regards,Jax's Mom ... See MoreSee Less
