The Pets of the Homeless donation site program is part of a national effort to ensure that the animal companions of homeless Americans are cared for.

Pets of the Homeless was founded in 2008 in Carson City, Nevada. Since then, donation sites have collected more than 648 tons of pet food. Pets of the Homeless also provides emergency veterinary care through free wellness clinics and partnerships with veterinary hospitals, and the organization has treated more than 20,000 pets.

It’s estimated that 3.5 million Americans are homeless. Between 5 and 10 percent of homeless people have pets. In some areas of the country, the rate is as high as 25 percent. The need for pet food, supplies and veterinary care will continue to be a pressing concern for those who find themselves homeless and the pets that rely on them.

About Pets of the Homeless
Pets of the Homeless believes in the healing power of companion pets and of the human-animal bond, which is very important in the lives of many homeless. They find solace, protection and companionship through their pets. They care for their pets on limited resources so they themselves have less. The task, nationwide, is to feed and provide basic emergency veterinary care to their pets and thus relieve the anguish and anxiety of the homeless who cannot provide for their pets.
