A volunteer-based project providing free veterinary care for the
companion animals of homeless San Franciscans

Donate to VETSOS

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.
