This Is Us
WHAT WE DO:
Our mission is to provide free veterinary care to pets of people experiencing or at risk of homelessness. Using a One Health approach to street medicine and pop-up street clinics, we care for both ends of the leash. For a slideshow overview, click here. For a “This Is Us” info sheet, click here.
WHY WE DO IT:
We believe in the transformative bond between humans and animals and aim to support both through equitable, compassionate, and community-driven programs.
WHERE WE ARE:
We are in 60+ cities across the U.S., and we continue to grow thanks to generous volunteers, donors, sponsors, and community partners.
WHO WE ARE:
Volunteers include veterinarians, vet techs, vet assistants, social workers, human healthcare professionals, human-animal bond advocates, and students in One Health fields of study.
WHAT WE VALUE:
Unconditional Love: Everything we do is done with love and kindness, without judgment or conditions.
Compassionate Activism: We seek the courage to “swim upstream” and always do the right thing.
Unbridled Collaboration: Our work cannot be done in a silo. We rely on supporters and community partners to help us think outside the box, complement existing resources, establish trust, walk the talk, and deliver accessible, quality care through tailored delivery models.
Trust: Trust is the foundation of this organization. We strive to authentically connect and build trust with everyone we work with and everyone we meet, on both ends of the leash.
Look at the leash as a lifeline, and consider donating and/or volunteering to support the lives on both ends. CLICK HERE to learn more about how you can help, and thank you!
