Feeding Pets of the Homeless
Hi, I’m Geronimo.I’m a 4-year-old Pit Bull–Blue Heeler mix, and I live on the streets with my dad. We move from city to city, always trying to find a safer, better life. To my dad, I’m everything: his best friend, protector, and companion.While we were in Chicago, my dad found some friends staying in a place called Tent City, near the railroad tracks. It’s a small community where people experiencing homelessness try to help one another.One morning during a walk, another dog rushed at us to protect his space. I was bitten on my legs and back before the situation could be stopped. My dad cleaned my wounds the best he could, but he was worried they might get infected.He brought me to a local vet clinic, but he couldn’t afford the care I needed. The clinic gave him a list of resources, and that’s how he found Feeding Pets of the Homeless.After a phone interview with a case manager, I was approved for help. I received wound care, antibiotics and pain medication. It was a huge relief for both of us.Now I’m healing next to my dad, right where I belong.Feeding Pets of the Homeless contributed $545 toward my care.A message from my dad:“...you really came through for my dog. I can’t even put into words what that means. He’s family and when he hurts, I hurt. I was really out here walking around these streets thinking I wasn’t going to help him because I didn’t have the money. Thanks to you and all the people over there at Feeding Pets of the Homeless, my fam is ok. God bless.” ... See MoreSee Less
