Low-Income People Need Animal Care Services, Too

Polly Lambert, 21, understands the beauty of having an animal in her life. Since she was 14, she never had a permanent home. However, she says that the only thing that has been with her ever since was her Australian Shepherd dog named Ginger. Ginger used to be a show dog but ended up in a shelter after being abused. Ginger has helped Polly by saving her from several suicide attempts.

Veterinarian Dr. Denise Pilgeram of the low-cost clinic at Union Gospel Mission, says that low-income individuals need pets. Pets help them keep going despite their life challenges. Because of that, Dr. Denise’s first priority is to serve the homeless. Her clinic offers basic medical care and testing, and offers pet supplies to those who cannot afford them. The clinic is open three Wednesday’s each month.
