Mission Statement:

Through Feeding Pets of the Homeless, we will do our part to help reduce hunger in pets that belong to the homeless and the less fortunate and provide medical care for those pets in communities across the country.

We believe in the healing power of companion pets and of the human/animal bond which is very important to life.

Recently I have volunteered to add this to my services in Harrisburg PA and surrounding areas.

I too was once homeless with 9 dogs. Luckily I had a car to live in and a very small income which fortunately helped me get through the tuff times when I was disabled and could not work. I wasn't as bad off as most but it was hard and it has left me with a experience that breaks my heart to see these individuals especially the ones who keep their pets and are bonded so deeply.

Many of them out of pure love will feed their pets most of what they get for themselves. By feeding the animals you help to feed both.

It is only a step away from having everything to having nothing and any one of us could be the next on the street.

Please consider donating to this cause.

I receive no monies from this service but the satisfaction that one person and their pet are not hungry tonight is worth a million dollars to me, and that they can stay together means so much to them.

If you live in the Harrisburg PA area you can donate in several ways. I have several places that will collect the food for me & if you want to make a money donation there are also cans there.

You can get a receipt from the main group if you ask for it when you donate.

I will collect the food and distribute it to be given to the ones on the street and to families who desperately need it in order to keep their animals instead of having to drop them off at a shelter due to not being able to care for them.

The following businesses are the drop off and collections sites:

1. Feed Store
5810 Old Jonestown Road
Harrisburg 17112

2. Superpet
5007 Jonestown Road
Harrisburg PA 17221

3. More to come

If you have any questions please email me at Dottie@PetChaplainDottie.com

If you are reading this and live in another area or state or would like to donate or volunteer in your area click the link below for Feeding Pets of the Homeless web site.

You can also donate thru their pay pal on that site. The money goes for food and vet expenses which I hope to have the vetting in this area set up soon.

Thank you and May God Bless You

Feeding Pets of the Homeless is a nonprofit volunteer organization that provides pet food and veterinarian care to the homeless and less fortunate in local communities across the United States and Canada. How? Our volunteers collection sites receive donated pet food and deliver it to food banks and/or soups kitchens which have agreed to distribute the food to the homeless and impoverished.

Our headquarters are in Carson City, Nevada and it is from here that we coordinate and support our volunteer collection sites.

We collect cash donations, we purchase pet food, distribute grant applications to veterinarians, and other nonprofit organizations that meet our objectives, we review and award grants, and we provide marketing materials and promote the organization on behalf of our collection sites to the national media.
