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
Hi, my name is Beavis.I'm a 6-year-old Pit Bull living in a vehicle with my mom. She rescued me after I was abandoned in the woods when I was younger, and we've been attached at the hip ever since. We're best friends, supporting each other as we navigate homelessness and work toward a more stable situation.Recently, my mom noticed I was having trouble eating and my breath had become much stronger than usual. When she looked inside my mouth, she found a broken canine tooth and saw that my gums were swollen and bleeding. As my appetite started to disappear, she knew I needed veterinary care.My mom immediately started searching for help. That's when she found Feeding Pets of the Homeless. After completing an application, I was approved to see a veterinarian.Dental X-rays showed that I had dental disease and a painful broken tooth. During my dental cleaning, the veterinarian found three teeth that needed to be removed. Thankfully, they were able to take care of everything during the same procedure.Now I can eat without pain, my appetite is back, and I'm feeling like myself again. My mom and I have one less thing to worry about as we continue moving forward together.Feeding Pets of the Homeless contributed $1,120 toward my care.A message from my mom:"I am writing to express my deepest and most heartfelt gratitude for your incredible generosity. When you offered to cover the cost of Beavis's tooth extraction, you lifted a huge weight off my shoulders, and I cannot thank you enough.Beavis means the world to me, and knowing that he is now comfortable, healthy, and out of pain because of your kindness brings me more relief than words can say. Please know that I appreciate your support more than you will ever know. Your compassion and willingness to step in for Beavis is something I will truly never forget. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for your selfless act of love and kindness."Your support helps pets like me get the veterinary care we need and stay with the people who love us most.🐾 Lend a paw to help the next pet in need. ...
