Here at St Mungo's we recognise the powerful emotional support a pet can provide. That's why we are one of the only charities to accept pets in our hostels. 

A pet can often feel like the only companion for someone sleeping on the streets. They provide solace and comfort during what can be an extremely difficult time. Forced to choose between shelter and their pet, many risk sleeping rough in dangerous conditions rather than being separated.

By giving to St Mungo's this National Pet Month, you can help save two lives.

Enza and Lily

"I wouldn’t get rid of Lilly for anyone; she’s like a kid to me. I’ve had her since she was born and I feel safe with her."

Living in a tent in a park for two years, Enza struggled to find somewhere suitable to stay because a lot of hostels don’t allow dogs.

St Mungo’s offered her a place in their women’s only, dog friendly hostel, and helped her find a home in partnership with Housing First.

Liz and Bindi

"Bindy was a welcome relief to some really difficult moments. She provides unconditional support"

Liz and her husband would be lost without their dogs – they’re like a family. 

For them, being separated from their pets was an absolute non-negotiable, meaning they were out on the streets for many years.

But with help from St Mungo’s, they’ve found a home where they can all stay together.
