Pets Without Walls

Helen Woodward Animal Center’s newest program, Pets Without Walls, is dedicated to helping the pets of homeless families by providing health checks, preventative medical care, important vaccinations, flea and tick medication, and pet food (through an extension of its AniMeals program) to the dogs and cats who reside with homeless families at San Diego’s industrial tent sites.

Helen Woodward Animal Center believes that pets are family. The bond between people experiencing homelessness and their pets is strong, and supporting it speaks directly to our mission of “people helping animals and animals helping people.” In doing our part to support the health of these pets, we help keep them with their beloved owners through the hardship of homelessness, so that they can continue being their families’ biggest cheerleaders, and best friends.

Pets Without Walls will be servicing a projected 200 pets, and needs your help!

Donate and provide life-saving vaccines and medical care for the loyal companions of those in need.

You can also help the animals of homeless families by donating pet food!

Visit any Kahoots location in San Diego to purchase and/or drop off any brand of dry or canned cat and dog food. We only ask that it is unopened, unexpired, and non-prescription. We also use Ziploc Freezer quart and gallon bags for packing food up in weekly portions. Dog and cat treats are a wonderful donation as well!

Kahoots Pet Stores donations can be dropped off at these locations:
