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.

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.

"Hello, my name is Kylie. I am a 7.5-year-old Jack Russell Terrier. My human and I have been experiencing homelessness and living in our vehicle for the last year in the Novato, CA area.Recently, I was struggling with a mass/tumor located in my lower stomach area that would not allow me to lie down. My owner was very concerned and reached out to Feeding Pets of the Homeless. Once an intake was completed, I could see a vet and immediately was scheduled for surgery."My owner could not be any happier with the generosity of this organization. For helping us in our time of need."Thanks to your donations we contributed a total of $1500 toward Kylie's treatment. —————————————————–Kylie’s story is a testament to the power of compassion and its impact on those in need. They may be just one dog, but to their owner, they are their world. Your support doesn’t just change lives – it saves them. Together, we can ensure that pets like Kylie receive the care they deserve, no matter their obstacles. ... See MoreSee Less
