It's easy to judge.

It's more difficult to understand.

Understanding requires compassion,

patience, and a willingness to believe that

good hearts sometimes choose poor methods.

Through judging, we separate.

Through understanding, we grow.

-Doe Zantamata

Weta
 
Pets of the Homeless helped a beautiful sweet Chihuahua Dachshund named Weta who was having pregnancy complications and had delivered 2 live and 2 stillborn pups, but still had more to come.  She was rushed  to the veterinarian where surgery was performed to remove the puppies that were unfortunately deceased.  Weta had become septic and was hospitalized. Weta's previous owner had bred her numerous times.  

Weta's owner, who is homeless and lives in a tent in a riverbed rode his bike to visit Weta every day for a week.  It is with a heavy heart we share that Weta's kidneys failed and in order to prevent her from suffering anymore, her owner had to have her euthanized.  

Her owner will share Weta's story with the homeless community about the importance of spaying and neutering pets.  Run with the angels, Weta.

 This Nonprofit is Working to Prove That Homeless People Deserve Healthy,
Happy Pets
by Scott Bixby, October 12, 2015

The relationship between the homeless and their pets can provide huge boons to both. Pet ownership has been proven time and again to be of huge benefit to the mental and physical health of human caretakers. These benefits are acutely felt by the homeless. "The homeless feel invisible. They don't get a lot of interaction with 'regular folks," Frederick said. "When they have a pet, sometimes that opens up that conversation, because people will stop for the animal. This might be the only person they talk to all day long."
