ABOUT PETS OF THE HOMELESS

Pets Of The Homeless (POTH) help keep vulnerable people and their pets together by alleviating the burden of providing essential pet care during times of hardship. We believe that the companionship and the therapeutic value of pets is immeasurable and nothing should come between a loving owner and their pet. Not homelessness. Not financial hardship. Not domestic violence. Pets are family – and nothing should stand in the way of that. Each team member is an integral part of achieving our vision of a community where no person is separated from their pet due to homelessness or disadvantage.
