PHOENIX — In a continued effort to support our community, ABC15 Arizona and St. Vincent de Paul’s Companion Animal Program (CAP) are excited to announce the ABC15 Pet Drive, sponsored by Valley Toyota Dealers. Since its inception in 2021, CAP has made a tremendous impact on the lives of pet owners experiencing or at risk of homelessness, as well as their beloved pets.
Through the establishment of six charity pet pantries, quarterly wellness clinics, collaborative partnerships, and daily animal support, CAP has successfully assisted hundreds of owners and their pets in accessing critical resources, ensuring they remain safe, sheltered, and cared for together.
Key services provided by CAP include:
- Free animal wellness check-ups

- Vaccines and microchipping
- Licensure
- Food and supplies
In the past four years alone, the program has positively impacted nearly 3,000 companion animals, highlighting the essential role it plays in the community.
