What We Do​

​

Companion Pets in Crisis, is an all volunteer run and operated non profit organization who supports veterans and unhoused individuals experiencing homelessness, housing instability, and crisis by keeping them and their pets together.

 

We believe pets are more than companions—they are a vital source of mental well-being, emotional support, and stability, especially during life’s hardest moments.

When barriers threaten to separate pets from their families, we step in with practical support, compassion, and dignity.

​

Keeping Pets with Their People

​

We provide pet food, essential supplies, and resources to ensure pets remain healthy and cared for so families don’t have to choose between survival and surrendering their beloved emotional support companion.

 

Supporting Veterans with Pets

​

For many veterans living on the streets or in shelters, their pet is a lifeline—offering routine, emotional grounding, and purpose.

We prioritize outreach and support for veterans with pets, helping protect this bond while promoting mental wellness and stability.

​

Breaking Barriers to Housing & Shelter

​

Pets are often the reason individuals are denied access to housing or shelter. We help remove those barriers by providing:

• Vaccinations and wellness exams

• Spay/neuter vouchers

• ESA letters and documentation

• Resources needed to meet housing and shelter requirements

 

Because no one should have to choose between a roof over their head and their pet.

 

Community Outreach Where It’s Needed Most

​

We meet people where they are—on the streets, in shelters, and in underserved communities—offering nonjudgmental, boots-on-the-ground support for pets and the people who love them.

​

Compassionate, Limited Medical Support

​

While we are not a rescue and do not intake animals, we provide limited medical assistance and referrals when possible, focusing on urgent needs that help keep pets safe, stable, and with their families.

​

Why It Matters

​

When people stay connected to their pets:

• Mental health improves

• Stability increases

• Pathways to housing and services become possible​

​​

Keeping pets and people together isn’t just kindness—it’s care, prevention, and hope.
