A man residing in a homeless shelter in Denver, CO has been homeless for four months. He is a disabled Veteran that receives SSI and food stamps. He has no transportation.
He reached out to Feeding Pets of the Homeless for his 2-year-old male Pitbull named Kechi.
The dog had been seen at an emergency veterinary hospital the day before and was diagnosed with an intestinal blockage.
An intake was completed by a case manager and homeless verification was provided by a shelter manager.
Kechi needed to be moved from the ER hospital to another hospital that could complete the surgery for a more reasonable cost.
Kechi was moved and surgery was completed.
Kechi was very ill and the vet thought that they may need to euthanize him while on the operating table, but he was a fighter and did great. Kechi recovered overnight in the hospital and was returned back to his owner the next day.
Feeding Pets of the Homeless contributed $600 towards Kechi’s surgery.
