Babe - Feeding Pets of the Homeless

Multiply your impact and your generosity

Hi,

Today’s the day! GlobalGiving’s July Bonus Day is now live, and your gift of $100 or more will be matched.

The more you give, the more we can do — and the better our chances of earning up to $1,200 in bonus prizes to support pets, like Babe, who belong to people experiencing homelessness.

Meet Babe:

Hello, my name is Babe. I am a 6-year-old Chihuahua-Poodle mix. My mom and I are currently experiencing homelessness. Due to her situation, we have been living in her car and moving around SoCal for the past year.

My mom noticed I wasn’t eating or drinking water and had a cyst on my rectum. She took me to the veterinarian for a free exam, and they said it would need to be surgically removed. My mom was worried about how she would pay for the surgery. Luckily, the veterinarian knew of a non-profit that could help and gave her the phone number for Feeding Pets of the Homeless.

After a phone interview with a case manager, I was approved and scheduled for surgery. They were able to perform a mass removal and I got to go back to my mom with an e-collar and pain medications.

Thank you so much to Feeding Pets of the Homeless for taking care of me!

Feeding Pets of the Homeless contributed a total of $1,500 towards Babe’s Care.

Email from Babe's owner: "This is Babe a day before surgery. I just wanted to say thank you for helping us.

This is your mid-year moment to invest in a better world, and your generosity today makes all the difference.

Matching is open until 10 a.m. EDT on Thursday, July 17.

Make your $100+ gift now.

With gratitude,
