The annual convention for the American Veterinary Medical Association in Denver turned into a free clinic for the Pets of the homeless. In partnership with the Street Dog Coalition, the event provided free health check-ups, vaccinations, and essential supplies for companion animals. The emotional support provided by pets can be crucial for people experiencing homelessness. Dr. Ashley Ackley, a volunteer veterinarian, expressed her disagreement with the judgment and stigma surrounding homeless individuals having pets. Each pet owner was given a referral for further care within the Denver area. The initiative aims to preserve and strengthen the bond between homeless individuals and their pets.
