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 Goose.I am a 3-year-old Cane Corso. My dad and I are currently experiencing homelessness in Santa Rosa, CA. My dad is disabled, and I act as his protector and best friend while we navigate our situation and look for stable housing.My dad noticed swelling in my lymph nodes, and I was drooling more than usual. Since I have a habit of picking things up and trying to drink from puddles, he was concerned I may have gotten into something when he wasn’t looking.That’s when he contacted Feeding Pets of the Homeless for help with my veterinary care. After a brief intake process, I was approved to be seen.At the vet, I was given a sedated exam. The doctor found cuts on my tongue that were causing the drooling, and my lymph nodes had swollen as a result. They placed two sutures to help my tongue heal and gave me antibiotics so I could recover safely with my dad.Now I am on the path to recovery with my dad by my side, taking care of me. I can keep protecting and supporting him, just like he does for me.Feeding Pets of the Homeless contributed $1,200 toward my care.A message from my dad:"Thank you for your help with Goose. I can’t thank you enough. He was seen and treated and is recovering. I appreciate everything you guys did. Bless you." ... See MoreSee Less
