A surprise $5,000 donation goes a long way to help pets of the homeless! Pier Construction & Development of Henderson, NV donated $5,000 to Pets of the Homeless. The check was a welcome surprise to the national nonprofit. Founder, Genevieve Frederick said "Pier's donation will go to our emergency care program. This program is open to homeless across the country that do not have the resources to take their pet to a veterinary hospital when their pet is suffering from an illness or injury." Frederick went on to say, "Pier Construction has shown their compassion and generosity with this gift."

In September, POTH received a call from a homeless woman who lives in her camper at a casino in WA.  Her pet, Amber, a 5 year old ferret had recently been diagnosed with insulinoma, tumors on her pancreas and bladder stones, and was urinating blood. Amber's owner  asked if Pets of the Homeless would possibly contribute towards the necessary surgery to remove the bladder stones.
