Thanks to the work of Genevieve Frederick, "Pets of the Homeless" was set up.
Pets of the Homeless is a nonprofit volunteer-based organization that is dedicated to collecting food for animal companions of the homeless in the United States and Canada, as well as administering veterinary care.
Read about what inspired her and the work of her organisation, so appreciated by homeless war veterans, and those who have fallen on hard times in North America:

In the UK in some supermarkets I have seen collection bins for Dogs and for animal rescue centres. But it would be good to have this charity, or something similar working here too. It certainly would be nice to see collection bins for donated dog and cat food for the homeless.
Sometimes, for those people, their animal companion (usually a dog) is the only friend they have, and the only ray of hope that keeps them going.
(Although in UK the P.D.S.A. is a fantastic charity providing veterinary care for anyone on very low income, and only asking for any donation the person can afford.)
