The Street Dog Coalition cares for both ends of the leash, providing free veterinary care to pets of people experiencing homelessness. We know the well being of our pets is deeply connected to the emotional and physical health of their pet parents, which is why we take a One Health approach, providing care for pets and people in over 60 locations across the US, including Sacramento, CA.
To learn more about The Street Dog Coalition's programs and the impact we’re making for pets of people experiencing homelessness, view Both Ends of the Leash, a short film illustrating our mission and our impact.
Our mission is to provide free veterinary care and related services to pets of people experiencing, or at risk of, homelessness.
If a donation or grant is restricted/earmarked for a specific SDC team such as Sacramento, these funds will be put towards the team’s expenses and will be used to pay for street clinic supplies and third-party veterinary care beyond the street clinic setting. While our clinic is set up to provide free basic veterinary care, many of the pets we see at our clinics need specialized care besides vaccines and parasite prevention. We need funding to provide care for pets who require diagnostic tests that only a brick and mortar clinic can provide. In addition to spay/neuter and end of life care, some of our patients need x-rays, blood work, wound care, or management of chronic conditions such as heart or kidney disease.
