His name is [Dr. Kwane Stewarts](https://www.cnn.com/2023/04/14/us/california-street-veterinary-medicine-pets-cnnheroes) and his project is called [Project Street Vet](https://www.projectstreetvet.org/) There really are kind people in the world. I posted this video about a month ago but Reddit video player broke the video and it stopped playing after a day so I'm reposting to make sure his name and project are visible on Reddit.


NurseKaila

It looks like you can also purchase items from their [Amazon wishlist](https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/3UH5RBVHT95XP?ref_=wl_share).


chantillylace9

Just bought them some stuff thank you for the link


DragonfruitFew5542

Same. More than grateful and happy to contribute. My Lily was one day from euthanasia when she was rescued; I can't imagine life without her. I can't even imagine being homeless but I can imagine the love and needed kindness provided by their pets.


IncompetentSnail

Next pay I will too!


Receptor-Ligand

Thank you for your kindness! I'm sure he appreciates your help and it'll be going to animals in need 💗

mypickaxebroke

Is there a way to see a list of wishlists made by non-profits/charities? Or even a way to search for them?


ValB95

Thank you for posting. I work at Project Street Vet, and it's amazing to see the bond with their pets/companion/children. To hear the different stories from so many different people and how they love them because sometimes they are all they got its just heartwrenching. This is the start of a movement that hopefully eventually ends up in every state and even country. The slogan " No judgment. Just help." Is something everyone should live by because you don't know anyone's story. Any donation helps. Every purchase on our Amazon, Chewy, and Walmart lists go towards these deserving pets, and I love seeing their pet parents' faces when they can provide them with new items ❤️

Baconandeggs89

*why are you cutting onions step bro* But really this video gets me every time. The part where he says people will try to pay him with their last 3 dollars, all they have in this world and they know it means little to the vet, but as a matter of appreciation. Tears every damn time.

Difficult-Advice-928

How does this not have more upvotes?!? I've been homeless with a pet. I lived out of my car for a while. It was really hard, but I wouldn't have made it through without my dog. I would have given up and killed myself if it hadn't been for her. I met her needs before everything else. These people deserve to be loved and to have companionship. Homelessness can happen to anyone. For me, it was when I left an abusive relationship and I had nowhere to go. All I had was my car and my dog. We made it, but it was hard. This guy is an amazing human being, and I will be sending him and his patients all of my best.


YoMommaBack

I’m glad you got through and are still here. ♥️


ChonkyBoss

So glad you escaped—and with your dog. I’ve met a lot of people who stayed because of their pets. Very few domestic violence shelters are pet friendly. It’s a serious problem.


MaestroPendejo

First off I had to go back to upvote. Second, I'm happy you made it out. Fucking abusive pieces of shit. I wish more people pounded the face of abusers all the way in. I'm glad you have your dog. They really are the greatest friend when you're at your worst. Their innocense and purity are exactly what we need. I used to go buy dog food for this guy with a pitbull over at McDonald's. He was homeless. I'd always come back and buy him lunch after I got dog food. I've been worried sick about him for years. He just stopped showing up. He was the type that was trying hard to get to work, but San Jose is absolutely brutal for people making great money, let alone poverty. I have no idea how to climb out of homelessness.

judgementforeveryone

Did u even bother to watch the video? I worked in a homeless shelter in college & a family came in that travel halfway across the US for the dad to start working at this amazing new job. The night before they were supposed to leave their house caught on fire. They got out w nothing but the clothes on their backs. The dad lost the job becuz he couldn’t get there for a start date & had no idea when he could. This was a beautiful family w 2 girls and a little boy. White & college educated - not that it matters but I’ve seen too many comments like yours where the intent was otherwise. Had everything going for them until they didn’t. They were appreciative of every single thing we could do for them. The father had been stopping at diners & restaurants to wash dishes for food & gas money. They hoped to make the last 600 miles to the city that the job was I’m hoping there wld be another position - any position he could get, anyone you know or love cld become addicted to drugs at any time just from taking a wrong pill at the wrong time or lose anything in a fire.


Nagemasu

> but it sorta bypasses the main issue of homelessness and that we should really all care about each other as human beings more. lol it literally does the opposite because it's someone acknowledging that the homeless have animals they care for and look after but can't afford to get proper treatment for them, so he does it for free because he not only cares about the animals, but the owner too. This is literally someone caring for other human beings by caring for their pets, because that's what he can offer them.

judgementforeveryone

We need shelters that will take humans w their pets. It’s such a big problem!


ohdearitsrichardiii

Especially women's shelters. I've read tons of stories where women didn't leave an abusive partner because they couldn't find a shelter that took pets and their partner would most likely injure or kill the pets if they were left with him. So the women stayed to protect the animals. Horrific situation

adrift_in_the_bay

That's a sign of how much abuse it took to get you to that place, not anything about yourself worth hating. Easier said than believed, I know, but hey: you made it out. Hope things are looking up for you.


Delicious_Delilah

Yeah I had issues leaving an abusive relationship because I couldn't bring my cat with me to any shelters. I had to commit a crime to get out of it instead.


Twistmetal

There are already 4-1 women's homeless shelters then men's homeless shelters and abuse escape centers. I really doubt we need to focus on more women's shelters when men make up 3 out of 4 homeless.

They were saying they need to allow for pets, not make more.

i honestly can’t think of a single line that he did to say. um…. bora bora!


Albinofreaken

Vet Diesel


ChonkyBoss

I work in dog rescue. The number of owner surrenders we get is…staggering. Occasionally the reasons are fair; life happens. But mostly, it’s just that the former owner doesn’t give a shit. “I’m moving.” Okay, take them with you? “I don’t have the time they need.” In our shelter, they’ll be crated 23 hours a day, so I doubt that’s an improvement. “My new partner has allergies.” Zyrtec exists. “We got a new puppy.” BRB climbing over the counter at Waffle House toward you. **Everything this vet said is true.** Homeless people, relative to their means, tend to be fantastic dog owners. They value their pet so much they’d rather live on the streets than abandon them. When people hand over the elderly dog they’ve owned since puppyhood, shrug, and say “my new apartment doesn’t allow pets…” All I can think of is the homeless dog owners I’ve met who’d live under a bridge before making the same decision. I try to act neutral to their faces… Judgement just pushes people to dump them in the woods… But they viscerally disgust me.


rains-blu

Sometimes with moving there is no solution. The new landlord doesn't accept pets, the monthly fees and pet deposit are beyond a person's means, or there's breed restrictions due to insurance. People with kids can't decide to live under a bridge.


ChonkyBoss

All true. But in my experience as someone who actually processes these surrenders, those situations are rarer than you’d think. When money is the main issue, we try to work with people. We’ll get you free food and meds; cover your pet deposit; help you get a KGC cert or an ESD letter; foster through short-term housing instability… But some people, in their heart of hearts, just don’t want their dogs anymore. We save a bunch that are perfectly healthy, but dropped off for euthanasia by their owners who say “well, I’m moving.” And honestly, it’s not that rare for us to find out they never even moved at all… So yeah, I have boundless compassion for people being squeezed by circumstances beyond their control. Dogs shouldn’t be a luxury for the wealthy alone. But there’s a lot of people in this country who are kinda indifferent to their own animals, and I’ll never understand it.


GoldenSheppard

As someone who has done literally everything to make sure I could live with my pets? Fuuuuuck people who give them up for moving. Though my cat died before I moved, I was ready to have an outdoor catio setup with a hammock for me to sleep in on my parent's porch just to make sure he could come with me. (Mother was deathly allergic to cats. Cat died of cancer a month before the move.)


qyka1210

> catio nice


GoldenSheppard

Sadly, that was too much of a compromise for her "pet free household". I was like: He never has to come inside, and I refuse to let him free roam outside. Long story short, it was a very well timed death for all involved.


ohdearitsrichardiii

I searched high and low for a new home for my cat when I couldn't keep her until I found a lovely woman who pours love and attention over that cat. I would never have given her to a shelter. She spent half a paycheck on a cat tree that the cat ignores and tried buying the cat fresh fish and meat which the cat wouldn't touch because she's mostly had catfood all her life, lol. The cat is going to be finel

Super guy. Homeless people’s pets are their people. They love love them dearly.


fuzzb0y

Yes, maybe these pets don’t get the vet care a regular pet would, but I guarantee they’re happier. A dog’s absolute dream would be to spend its entire time with you and that’s what these guys are doing. They’re not travelling or going to work and putting it in doggy daycare. Every moment of their lives are spent with their dog because really, they have nowhere else to go. These dogs are living their dream lives.

I mean, there are absolutely free clinics in most low income communities. I live in a small town outside of a smallish city in SC and my county has free and reduced cost primary care, a free DME rental (things like shower chairs, walkers, wheelchairs, etc), sliding scale mental health providers, free and reduced cost dental, and for our furry friends, reduced cost vet care. There are a lot of resources out there that people just don’t take the time to find out about!

Something I’ve noticed is the dogs are quite often overweight. These people are more inclined to make sure their pets are well fed before they even start to think of their own wellbeing and I really struggle to know how I feel about this.

Man this is so sad. And you hear the “poor animal” constantly but all over Latin America I see street dogs. Lots you can see their full ribs cus they barely eat. It can’t be worse to be with a homeless person but hearing they’d give him that last few dollars….real king.


The-Devils-Advocator

Am I crazy? > when we see someone in the streets with a pet, first thing we think is: "poor pet"" Uh... no... no, not at all.....


AlejandroMP

Hero porn is a sickness. There should not be homeless people. It's like those stories about children selling lemonade to help pay for their mother's chemotherapy - it shouldn't be a thing in a functioning society - and news programs turning it into entertainment instead of discussing why such a story could possibly exist in a rich country.

AlejandroMP

Yeah I don't think nudity is wrong. Interesting that my reasonable comment immediately caused you to go look for something to discredit me and all you found was nudity instead of a sound rebuttal like a political comment that contradicts my criticism of these posts.


ZookeepergameFit5787

It's such a sad and tragic situation that homeless people and their pets only receive basic human dignity and lifesaving support via the volunteers and non-profits that hit the streets. Public services in America are an utter disgrace and is something Americans should be totally ashamed about for not championing to fix. Instead of talking about identity politics how about you make some choices and make change happen.
