Partnerships for unhoused pet families

Partnerships for unhoused pet families

We are pawsitively happy with our first wellness clinic for pet families experiencing homelessness, cohosted with The Street Dog Coalition (SDC) and Central Coast Partnership for Animal Welfare (CCPAW) in San Luis Obispo. About 30 dogs and cats received vaccines, flea treatment, wellness exams, nail trims and other services by SDC’s Dr. Alex Gomes and our technician Becky Clement. CCPAW handed out leashes, collars, pet beds and other supplies and Shower The People provided mobile-shower services for the two-legged. Going forward, we will continue to cohost events for the unhoused once per month throughout Santa Barbara and San Luis Obispo Counties.
