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.

Emergency Veterinary Care

If your pet is experiencing an illness or injury, Feeding Pets of the Homeless may be able to help through our Emergency Veterinary Care program. All requests must be submitted through our online application. Applications are reviewed by a Case Manager to determine eligibility and available funding. If approved, a Case Manager will guide next steps and help coordinate care at a participating veterinary clinic. Payments are made directly to the provider. Any contribution you are able to make toward the invoice is appreciated.

Important Information

Applications are reviewed M-F 8am – 4pm PST. Requests submitted after hours or on weekends will be reviewed the next business day.

For emergencies that cannot wait, seek immediate care or contact organizations listed on our State and National resources pages.

Feeding Pets of the Homeless
Hello, my name is Willow, and I am a 3-year-old pit bull. My dad and I live in a motel through a VA voucher because we are currently experiencing homelessness. My dad served three tours with the Marines, and I am his emotional support dog when he experiences PTSD. Loud noises and large crowds are often overwhelming for him.While getting ready for bed one night, my dad noticed a large tumor on my neck that was growing in size. He began to panic thinking that it could be a form of cancer. My dad knew he did not have money for surgery, so he started searching the internet for resources. That is when he came across the Feeding Pets of the Homeless page. He filled out an emergency application and sent his VA case worker a paper to fill out. Once the application was approved, I was assigned a case manager who found a local veterinary that was willing to help us. I went in for an examination, and the doctor said the mass needed to be removed. The vet scheduled a date for me to come back.On the day of surgery, I was sedated while the doctor performed a lumpectomy. I remained at the hospital for the day and received fluids. The veterinary technician contacted my dad and let him know that surgery went well and I could be picked up. I was sent home with an e-collar and pain medications. Now I am back with my dad recovering. Thank you, Feeding Pets of the Homeless for helping me feel better.Feeding Pets of the Homeless contributed $1,598 towards Willow’s care.Text from owner:Thanks so much to you and the whole team. Your organization truly is amazing! I am so grateful for your much need help with Willow. God Bless! ... See MoreSee Less
