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.

Pet Food

We have partnered with Pet Food Providers across the nation that include food banks, pantries, soup kitchens and shelters. If you need food or supplies for your pet, please search our resources map for a Pet Food Provider near you and call to see if they have supplies on hand.

Find a Pet Food Provider near you.

Emergency Veterinary Care

Case managers are available to take new cases M-F 9am – 3pm PST.

If your pet experiences illness or injury, please call us. 775-841-7463.  One of our Case Managers will conduct an interview to see if you and your pet qualify for assistance through our Emergency Vet Care Program. If you are eligible, the Case Manager will approve an exam and help you make an appointment for your pet at a local hospital or clinic. While there is no charge to you, we appreciate any payment towards the invoice made to the hospital at the time of the visit.
We do not take new emergency calls after hours or on weekends. Leave a message and a case manager will return your call the next business day. We have case managers working remotely and may be calling you back from a private number, so be sure to answer your phone. If your emergency cannot wait, please reach out to other organizations listed on our State and National resources pages.

Other Resources

When Feeding Pets of the Homeless® cannot help, we will direct you to one of the many other organizations that may be able to help with your individual needs. Many organizations have specific missions and criteria that need to be met to qualify. Some resources are specific to breed. Local animal shelters or local chapters of the Humane Society may also be able to help, or know of other organizations local to you. Many SPCA’s offer low cost or free spay/neutering and vaccines.

Donate today and double your impact! Meet Pepper:Hi, my name is Pepper, and I am a 9-year-old Chihuahua from Agoura Hills. My dad and I have been together my whole life. We are currently experiencing homelessness and spend half the month in our vehicle and the other half in a hotel through his county benefits.My dad knew I might have a heart murmur and he watched over me closely. When I began passing out and becoming catatonic, he reached out to everyone he could for help. That is when he found Feeding Pets of the Homeless.After a quick intake, I was sent to the vet the same day. Testing confirmed I have a lifelong heart murmur, but thanks to the diagnostics and care I received, I can now be treated with the medication I need to stay healthy.Feeding Pets of the Homeless contributed $621 toward my care, and now I am feeling so much better.Pepper is just one of the many pets we have helped thanks to you! The Dave & Cheryl Duffield Foundation wants to help many more. Your generous gifts matched up to $50,000.petsofthehomeless.org/2025-giving-tuesday ... See MoreSee Less
