Marc’s Story

Marc gets vet care for his beloved dog from Seattle Veterinary Outreach at Ballard Food Bank

I do not consider myself homeless. I’ve lived in the same shack in the industrial district for the past 7 years. Luckily, the owners let me stay here in exchange for work. Llroy has been with me this whole time, but it is hard to care for him since I do not have an income. It has been 7 years since he has seen the vet. This service helps us tremendously.

This past March, I had Covid-19. Llroy saved my life. He kept me sane. He calmed me. I don’t know how to explain it in words, but he was consistent. I have never had a relationship with a human like this. I like to call him my ‘petner.’
