What does Street Dog Coalition do?

Our mission is to provide free medical care and related services to pets of people experiencing, or at risk of, homelessness. Using a One Health approach to street medicine, we care for the lives on both ends of the leash. Our teams are led by volunteer veterinarians who recruit other vets, vet assistants, social workers, doctors, nurses, dentists, allies, and advocates including students in One Health fields of study. We are in over fifty cities across the U.S. and we continue to grow thanks to generous volunteers, donors, sponsors, and community partners. Our four core values include unconditional love, compassionate activism, unbridled collaboration, and trust... Unconditional Love: Everything we do is done with love and kindness, without judgment or conditions. Compassionate Activism: We seek the courage to "swim upstream" and always do the right thing. Unbridled Collaboration: Our work cannot be done in a silo. We rely on supporters and community partners to help us think outside the box, complement existing resources, establish trust, walk-the-talk, and deliver accessible, quality care through tailored delivery models. Trust: Trust is the foundation of this organization. We strive to authentically connect and build trust with everyone we work with and everyone we meet, on both ends of the leash.
