VET SOS began offering services to homeless people and their pets in 2001, using a $1000 start-up grant. Since then, all medical supplies and operating expenses are donated. VET SOS would like to expand its services but needs your help in order to do that.
Team PAWS: Doggone Fun Run will now be an officially registered team at the San Francisco AIDS Walk.
Please join VetSOS and PAWS as we bark up a new tree and take our leashes, collars (and of course, poop bags!) to the San Francisco AIDS Walk Sunday, July 20th in Golden Gate Park.

VET SOS is a volunteer-based project providing free veterinary care for the companion animals of homeless San Franciscans.
