GET HELP

We understand the comfort and love that your pet provides. If you are homeless and need help for your companion pet, we may be able to assist you in getting food for your pet, emergency veterinary care, and wellness care.

Emergency Veterinary Care

If your pet is experiencing an illness or injury, Feeding Pets of the Homeless may be able to help through our Emergency Veterinary Care program. All requests must be submitted through our online application. Applications are reviewed by a Case Manager to determine eligibility and available funding. If approved, a Case Manager will guide next steps and help coordinate care at a participating veterinary clinic. Payments are made directly to the provider. Any contribution you are able to make toward the invoice is appreciated.

Important Information

Applications are reviewed M-F 8am – 4pm PST. Requests submitted after hours or on weekends will be reviewed the next business day.

For emergencies that cannot wait, seek immediate care or contact organizations listed on our State and National resources pages.

National Love Your Pet Day 🐾🧡Today is all about celebrating the unconditional love our pets give us every single day. They comfort us, protect us, and stand by us no matter what life looks like.For many people experiencing homelessness, that bond is even more powerful. Their pet is not just an animal. They are family, stability, and hope.Let’s honor that love today by helping pets like Blondie.Hi, my name is Blondie.I’m a 5-month-old Pit Bull mix. I live with my dad in a tent, and we are currently experiencing homelessness. I love going on walks, playing ball with him, and cuddling at night. We are each other’s best friends.One day, while we were out walking, I saw a squirrel and chased after it. I ran into the street and was hit by a car. I had scratches all over my body, and my leg hurt so badly I could not stand on it. My dad was terrified and rushed me to an emergency veterinarian.When he explained that he did not have the money to continue my treatment, the clinic gave him a list of resources. That is how he found Feeding Pets of the Homeless.After a quick application, I was approved for help. The vet took X-rays and discovered I needed surgery on my hip. I was given fluids and pain medication, then the doctor performed surgery to repair my injury.Now I am back with my dad, resting and healing while we wait for the day I can run and play again.Feeding Pets of the Homeless contributed $1,500 toward Blondie’s care.This National Love Your Pet Day, you can help another pet like Blondie receive lifesaving care and stay with the person who loves them most.Donate in honor of your pet today! ...
