Feeding Pets of the Homeless

Feeding 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. Our 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. Our actions will include the following: 1. Promote to veterinarians and pet related businesses the importance of joining the program as a collection site 2. Campaign to food distributing organizations the importance of distributing pet food to the less fortunate 3. Speak out on the issue of pets of homeless and the disadvantaged 4. Provide funding to licensed veterinarians and other nonprofit organizations that meet our objective to administer veterinary care to pets of the homeless 5. Provide pet sleeping crates to homeless shelters
