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.

Pet Food

We have partnered with Pet Food Providers across the nation that include food banks, pantries, soup kitchens and shelters. If you need food or supplies for your pet, please search our resources map for a Pet Food Provider near you and call to see if they have supplies on hand.

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.

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.
