Animeals

A beloved pet is often the only companion to the homebound seniors served by our Meals on Wheels program. Over a decade ago, we founded the Animeals program to ensure that our seniors would not have to share their limited food and resources with their four-legged friends, or worse – give away their pets. Animeals provides free pet food to over 1,300 dogs and cats of homebound seniors. And thanks to partnerships with other non-profit organizations, we can also offer preventative veterinary services (such as vaccinations and spay/neutering) through our AniHeals program. 97% of our seniors tell us the program helps them maintain or improve their health, and remain independent in their own homes. Seniors with pets may sign up for the Animeals program, to receive free pet food and preventative vet care. This is an Interfaith Ministries of Houston ministry.
