A woman has been homeless with her dog Boo for almost 4 years in CA. At this time she receives food stamps and is disabled pending SSI. She does not have any transportation. She reached out to Feeding Pets of the Homeless because her 13-year-old male Terrier was not eating or drinking and was lethargic. An intake was completed and their homelessness was verified. The exam was approved at a network veterinarian hospital. Following the exam, labs were performed and the outcome was that Boo was suffering from diabetes. Boo was provided insulin, IV fluids and hospitalized until he was stable enough to return home.
Feeding Pets of the Homeless contributed $1,126 towards care for Boo and received a partner discount in the amount of $85.
