Sam* has been living on the streets in Houston, TX for the past 4 months. He currently receives disability. At this time he does not have transportation and does not receive food stamps.

He contacted Feeding Pets of the Homeless for his 2-year-old Pitbull, Chyna. He reported that Chyna had been vomiting for the past 4 days.

An intake was completed, and homeless verification was provided.

We approved an exam at a partner veterinary hospital. Following the exam and x-rays, it was determined that Chyna had a foreign body that was blocking her intestine and she needed emergency surgery. Unfortunately, this veterinary hospital did not have the capability to perform the required surgery. They were able to stabilize Chyna overnight and refer her to another facility for surgery the next day.

Feeding Pets of the Homeless contributed $1,046 for the exam, x-rays, medication and hospitalization.

Chyna was picked up by her owner the following day and brought in for surgery. She did wonderfully and we wish Chyna a speedy recovery.

Feeding Pets of the Homeless contributed $ 1,019 towards surgery.
