Emergency Veterinary Care

Case managers are available to take new cases M-F 9am – 3pm PST.

If your pet experiences illness or injury, please call us. 775-841-7463.  One of our Case Managers will conduct an interview to see if you and your pet qualify for assistance through our Emergency Vet Care Program. If you are eligible, the Case Manager will approve an exam and help you make an appointment for your pet at a local hospital or clinic. While there is no charge to you, we appreciate any payment towards the invoice made to the hospital at the time of the visit.
We do not take new emergency calls after hours or on weekends. Leave a message and a case manager will return your call the next business day. We have case managers working remotely and may be calling you back from a private number, so be sure to answer your phone. If your emergency cannot wait, please reach out to other organizations listed on our State and National resources pages.

Other Resources

When Feeding Pets of the Homeless® cannot help, we will direct you to one of the many other organizations that may be able to help with your individual needs. Many organizations have specific missions and criteria that need to be met to qualify. Some resources are specific to breed. Local animal shelters or local chapters of the Humane Society may also be able to help, or know of other organizations local to you. Many SPCA’s offer low cost or free spay/neutering and vaccines.

Feeding Pets of the Homeless
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
