Unhoused Community Pet Support Program

Helping Pets, Supporting People FOCCAS Unhoused Community Pet Support Program Because everyone deserves access to veterinary care for their beloved pets, regardless of their housing situation. In 2026, FOCCAS launched our Unhoused Community Pet Support Program to provide essential veterinary services and resources to pets belonging to individuals experiencing homelessness in Coos County. Through this program, we help ensure that these animals remain healthy, safe, and with the people who love them. Our program provides: • Spay and neuter services to prevent unwanted litters and improve animal health. • Core vaccinations to protect pets against preventable diseases, including rabies and parvovirus. • Microchipping to help reunite lost pets with their owners. • Deworming and parasite prevention to improve animal health and comfort. Working with Partners like Gizmo’s Angels who helps with • Transportation assistance to help pets get to and from veterinary appointments. • Temporary recovery accommodations when a safe place is needed following surgery. • Pet food and essential supplies to help owners meet their animals' basic needs. For individuals experiencing homelessness, a pet is often much more than a companion. They provide unconditional love, emotional support, protection, and a sense of stability during incredibly difficult times. For many, their pet is their family and sometimes the only constant in their lives. At FOCCAS, we believe that financial hardship or lack of stable housing should not prevent someone from providing essential veterinary care for their beloved companion. We Need Your Support! The need for veterinary care among pets in our unhoused community is ongoing, and our initial funding can only help so many animals. We are raising funds to continue and expand this important program. Your donation will help cover veterinary procedures, vaccinations and parasite prevention services. Every contribution, regardless of size, helps us provide compassionate, practical assistance to pets and the people who love them. Help Us Keep Pets Healthy and Families Together
