Host a Wellness Clinic

The Basics:

Would you like to start a Wellness Clinic in your community?

Grants are available through Feeding Pets of the Homeless. 

• Talk to your veterinarian about hosting a Feeding Pets of the Homeless sponsored Wellness Clinic.  Veterinarians and their staff volunteer their time to hold wellness clinics.

• 501(c)(3) nonprofit organizations may apply with a volunteer licensed veterinarian

• Sometimes local shelters or community centers will donate a room or parking lot to hold the event.

• If a veterinarian is awarded a grant, it will cover the hard costs, like syringes and gloves.  Most suppliers consider offering discounts or 2-for-1 vaccinations when they learn about the cause.

Humane Societies will sometimes offer free licenses and microchips.  Other organizations offer vouchers for spay/neuter.  

Email info@petsofthehomeless.org for the Grant Application and Wellness Clinic Planner.

Today, we’re highlighting our Veteran Pet Support Program, which helps veterans experiencing homelessness access emergency veterinary care, wellness services and support for their pets.For many veterans, their pets are more than companions. They provide protection, emotional support and stability during the hardest chapters of life. Keeping these families together matters.One recent case involved Roxy, a 9-year-old Boxer, whose guardian is a Marine Corps veteran. After losing housing, they were living in a vehicle when Roxy developed a life-threatening infection. A social worker referred them to Feeding Pets of the Homeless, and we helped cover the cost of her emergency surgery so they could stay together.If you are a caseworker, VA housing staff member or service provider working with veterans who have pets, we are here to support your clients.Learn more or request materials: petsofthehomeless.org/veteran-pet-support-program-helps-keep-pets-and-their-heroes-together/Support heroes and their pets. ...
