Shelter Intervention for Homeless Individuals and Their Pets

At CPiC we recognize the unique bond between homeless individuals and their pets, and we work tirelessly to ensure no pet is left behind in times of crisis.

  • We assist in eliminating barriers for veterans and unhoused individuals accessing shelters with their pets.

  • We offer resources, support, and advocacy to ensure pets and their owners stay together during the transition to safe, stable housing.

  • As a volunteer-run, donation-driven organization, we provide vital assistance to individuals and families in Maricopa County facing sudden displacement or homelessness.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                         

  • Our outreach is about far more than just handing out pet food and supplies. It’s about building trust, showing compassion, and listening to stories that often go unheard. 

  • Every conversation is a chance to remind someone that they matter — that help exists, and they are not alone. 

  • Many of the individuals we meet share that they would leave the streets if they could take their pets with them. What they don’t realize is: they have options. Many shelters now welcome pets — and we’re here to help bridge that gap.

  • When someone is ready, we’re ready too.  We connect them with services like Phoenix Rescue Mission, who can help them begin rebuilding their lives — starting with a birth certificate, state ID, or driver’s license. They can also provide transportation and shelter. And most importantly, we help them keep their beloved pets by their side through it all. 

  • This is how lives are changed.                                                                                              One act of kindness.  One conversation.  One person and Pet at a time. 

  • Together, we’re not just helping — we’re giving people the tools to start over. 🐾❤️
