Program
Companion Animal Program
St. Vincent de Paul's Companion Animal Program strives to keep pet owners experiencing or at risk of homelessness safe, together and sheltered with their pets.
The Society of Pets and People Cared For
The Companion Animal Program (CAP) helps care for the basic needs of the pets of those experiencing or at risk of homelessness. Thousands of individuals in our community are living on the streets. Many have beloved companions, dogs or cats, who often are their only source of safety, love and comfort. CAP strives to keep pet owners safe, together, and sheltered with their pets by connecting them to free wellness check-ups, vaccines, microchipping, licensure, food & supplies and much more through community partnerships with animal welfare organizations.

Services
Thanks to generous community support, our pet pantries operated out of our Valley dining rooms, Ozanam Manor, Washington St. Shelter, and Resource Center, offer guests access to vital supplies ranging from pet food and leashes to crates and dog booties.
In partnership with animal welfare organizations like the Arizona Humane Society, Maricopa County Animal Care & Control, Heidi’s Village, and Midwestern University College of Veterinary Medicine, SVdP helps to provide access to veterinary care, vaccinations, pet licensing, microchipping and much more for the pets of those experiencing homelessness. SVdP hosts pet wellness clinics on our campus to give those we serve access to the services of our community partners.
CAP also supports individuals ending their homelessness with costs associated with their companion animal like pet deposits, transitional housing support and fostering or re-homing support.
