Three years ago, a nonprofit called Helping Animals Living Outside opened a free pet clinic in the laundry room of a service station. A team of 12 volunteer veterinarians has treated 400 cats and dogs of homeless guardians. Since 1998, the San Francisco Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals has offered free emergency care to pets of homeless guardians. It even offers vouchers for food. A homeless life is hard on humans and animals.
Humans can usually find resources during times of crisis.
Boulder can do more to give homeless pets the life-saving care they deserve. The 10K race begins at 10 a.m., April 22 at the Boulder Reservoir. Dog treats are free. The silent auction includes a gondola from Vail. The Daily Camera.
