We provide pet food, supplies, veterinary care and additional services to the houseless with pets in Louisville, Kentucky.
(202)

STREET OUTREACH: We hand-deliver pet food, supplies and provide veterinary assistance to the houseless with companion animals. We work with caseworkers that are helping the houseless with pets transition to homes to make sure they receive the pet food and assistance that they need to keep their pets healthy and happy during their transition period.

Looking for a fun volunteer activity on a Saturday morning? Just need a car with some empty space and a couple of hours. Please respond below or message us and we will provide the convenient location right off the Watterson. Our next opportunity is this Saturday, November 7th with pickup starting at 9:30-10:30. There may be a few heavy bags to lift, because, well, lots of our recipients have lots of pets. The pets know you will be delivering that morning, so be ready to see some cute faces. Photos are encouraged!

We are planning the next monthly food distribution and need some help. We are short on food and our biggest need is canned cat food and smaller, 15 pound bags of dry cat food. We need anout 100 pounds total for the delivery. The cats aren't choosy about their brand.
We have really stepped up our game in food distribution with the help and energy of Meaghan Thomas, Samantha Voss and Laura V. Whisman. We hope to keep this going in 2027 but with the rising cost of all pet food it will be a challenge. We are looking for a corporate or private sponsor to help.
We've had big monthly distributions in addition to our random distributions, pantry distributions and supplying several outreach groups, and we think we have put almost 8,000 pounds of food into the community in about 3 months.
We are helping people keep their pets by giving them good food in adequate supply. Please give if you are able or pass the word along.

Here at My Dog Eats First- we already know. We know from our own little dog love at home. But what we see between the pets we serve and their person, we know that dogs are sent to love them unconditionally during the hardest years of their life. That is why we continue to serve our houseless pets even after they are housed- because we believe in the bond and love that kept them together.

Yesterday was pet food distribution day. It's magic- now you see it and now you don't! First picture is from Thursday night. Middle pic is one of the many cars loaded for distribution and then a picture of Director. Leslie Hansford showing off the now empty double wide storage unit. This could not happen without Meaghan Thomas, who buys and hauls the majority of food for these deliveries and Samantha Voss, organizer, packer, bartender for our prep night and lifter of 50 pound bags
