Every Family Deserves to Stay Whole

Pets are family. In Oakland, too many families are torn apart by poverty, housing instability, or lack of access to basic animal care. HAPI removes barriers by providing free microchips, ID tags, vaccines, food, and support—so pets stay with the people who love them.

How We Support People and Their Pets

HAPI works alongside pet owners and community partners to remove barriers to care and helps pets stay with the people who love them.

A small, elderly looking chihuahua is cradled in their person's arm, belly up. The dog is grey, shorthaired, with a white face and pink tummy and toes. He is looking at the camera, legs in the air, safe in his person's arms.

Get Help

Free pet food, vaccines, ID tags, and other essentials—provided through community events and outreach across Oakland.
