Our Programs
Companion Pets in Crisis helps people who are facing homelessness, housing instability, and crisis, remain with the pets they love.
Our programs provide essential supplies, preventive veterinary care, and shelter-based support that protect the human-animal bond and promote emotional well-being and stability.
Street Outreach
Our Street Outreach program brings pet food, essential supplies, and compassionate support directly to individuals experiencing homelessness with their companion animals.
By meeting people where they are, we reduce transportation and access barriers while helping pets remain safe, cared for, and with the people who depend on them for companionship and emotional support.
We provide:
-
Dry and canned pet food
-
Collars, leashes, and harnesses
-
Pet beds, blankets, crates, and clothing
-
Kitty litter and basic-care supplies
-
Spay and neuter resources
-
Preventive-care education
-
Connections to shelter, housing, and community resources

Pet Retention Through Shelter Partnerships
We partner with human shelters and supportive-service organizations - including CASS and U.S.VETS - to help individuals and veterans enter shelter and work toward stability without losing the pets they love.
Through on-site Pet Resources and Wellness Days, we help address the practical barriers that can prevent someone with a pet from entering or successfully remaining in a shelter program.
Support includes:
-
Pet food and essential supplies
-
Crates, beds, leashes, harnesses, and other equipment
-
Wellness examinations and vaccinations
-
Minor wound/infection treatment
-
Spay and neuter assistance
-
ESA letter assistance for eligible individuals
-
Help addressing pet-related shelter or housing barriers
-
Education, referrals, and follow-up support
These partnerships help shelters become more pet-inclusive while allowing people to maintain the companionship and emotional support their animals provide.
