Last week, we provided food for 165 pets, and on Saturday, we received 11 new Pet Pantry applications.

Behind every number is a family doing their best to care for the pets they love. As the need for assistance continues, your donations, volunteer hours, and support help ensure pets don’t have to go without food - and families don’t have to face these challenges alone. 🧡

We’re so grateful to everyone who helps make this possible. Together, we’re doing more than filling bowls. We’re keeping pets where they belong: at home, with the people who love them. 🏡🐾
