Project Street Vet offers support to the pets and their owners homelessness and/or housing vulnerability. We are currently only able to assist pet parents in Southern California or where we have established teams. We will be updating our list of team locations in the near future. Our work is carried out mainly through “Street Vet Work,” free pet clinics, and financial assistance.

Project Street Vet mainly assists pet parents with treatments including, but not limited to: exams, vaccines, minor care, spay, neuter, limited diagnostics, end-of-life services and other needed routine care. Other treatments will be considered on a case-by-case basis pending prognosis of pet and funding availability. Project Street Vet does not fund for services already performed or resuscitation for pets.

If you are experiencing a medical emergency with your pet, please contact your nearest emergency veterinary hospital. If you are looking for assistance for your pet from Project Street Vet, please contact us using this form. One of our team members will be in touch with you as soon as possible.

If you are experiencing homelessness and are having a time-sensitive medical emergency with your pet, you can also reach out to Pets of the Homeless HERE.

In order to receive financial assistance, pet parents are required to submit an application demonstrating they are currently experiencing homelessness. Application submission does not guarantee approval. To view a list of resources created by Project Street Vet for help with vaccines, spay/neuter, and more, CLICK HERE.

Assistance for end-of-life services are made possible through Diana’s Friends Fund: a special fund set up in memory of Diana the Huntress. Diana epitomized the idea that stars burning twice as bright burn half as long. When at six years old she suddenly developed extremely aggressive terminal kidney cancer, her humans were of course devastated, but the ability to say a meaningful goodbye made the experience significantly less traumatic. With that in mind, they started Diana's Friends Fund to allow Project Street Vet to provide personalized end-of-life services like individual cremation to make the unavoidable reality of saying goodbye at least  a tiny bit easier for the pet parents we serve.
