Feeding Pets of the Homeless-Non-Profit
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.
Genevieve Frederick-Founder of Feeding Pets of the Homeless
When founder Genevieve Frederick returned from a visit to New York City, in 2006, the images of homeless individuals, living on the street with their dogs would not leave her mind. She wondered how they found food for their dogs.
At her home in Nevada, Genevieve called food banks that already served the homeless and simply asked them if she could provide donated dog and cat food, would they make it available to their clients. They answered with a resounding, “Yes!” That was the beginning of a long journey to start a nonprofit and to watch it grow to become the only national organization of its kind.
In time, emergency veterinary care and wellness clinics were included to provide free vaccinations and basic exams. It also became apparent that homeless shelters needed sleeping crates so the homeless and their pets could have shelter with the added opportunity of working with a social worker to get out of homelessness.
From the onset, the successful coordination, implementation and monitoring of these programs has been due to dedicated staff and volunteers. Volunteers assist in recruiting Donation Sites and many times arrange for delivery of pet food to Pet Food Providers (food banks and soup kitchens); volunteers also assist during wellness clinics and at headquarter offices.
Feeding Pets of the Homeless became a recognized 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization registered with the State of Nevada in 2008.
