UNCONDITIONAL LOVE - LOYALTY - COMPANIONSHIP - PROTECTION

We believe every pet deserves not to be hungry or suffer from an illness or injury.  If you are homeless, or a Veteran, and need assistance caring for your pet, we can help.

A homeless man living in a tent by the river called seeking medical assistance for his companion Deimos, a 9-month old mix. He has been homeless for about a year. Deimos was experiencing weight loss, vomiting, lethargy and shaking of the head for three to four days, and it was difficult to wake up Deimos. We got an exam approved for Deimos with a close by Partner Veterinary Hospital. They got Deimos in super-fast. Once bloodwork and x-rays were performed, they were fast to give Deimos the correct medications and got him feeling better! Deimos' owner thanked us numerous times for saving his best friend!

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 reached out to Feeding Pets of the Homeless for his 2-year-old male Pitbull named Kechi. The dog had been seen at the ER 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 was moved to another hospital to complete the surgery for a more reasonable cost. During surgery 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.

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! ...
