Hi everyone.
We’ve posted a few times over the last couple of weeks pleading for dog food donations. While we are so endlessly grateful for every single bag that came in, the reality is that it went right out the door to waiting, hungry pets almost instantly.
Right now, our shelves are practically bare—we are down to just 4 large bags and 10 small bags of dog food.
For the past three years, we have poured our hearts and souls into making sure thousands of pets in our area didn't go hungry.
Every single month, we deliver food to 50+ families. That doesn't include our outreach events, unhoused community members, welfare checks, foster animals, veterans, or the dedicated social workers who rely on us to help feed the families they support.
Every month, over 100 animals depend on us just to keep their bellies full.
Because 90% of the families we support do not drive, we personally deliver directly to every single door. We do this because no loving owner should ever be forced to give up their best friend simply because they lack transportation or are going through a tough time.
To show you how committed we are to making these deliveries happen: the constant wear and tear on our personal vehicles has already forced a few of us to cover major repairs—replacing shocks, struts, coil springs, bushings, and tires—out of our own pockets, not to mention gas. Because we have very few volunteers available to help handle these supply drops, the burden of driving and loading falls almost entirely on just a couple of us. We simply cannot afford to keep buying food out of pocket on top of maintaining our vehicles.
We are at the point where we have to ask if we can even keep this food program alive. It breaks our hearts to say that, but we cannot keep running on absolute empty.
We can never keep our shelves stocked, and we simply cannot afford to buy food or keep fixing our cars to keep this going alone.
If this program shuts down, over a hundred pets a month lose their food source. Families lose the lifeline keeping their animals at home.
We are begging for your help to stock our shelves and save this program before we are forced to close it for good. If you have ever believed in our mission, please help us right now.

Even if you can’t donate a bag today, please share this post. Reaching the right person could mean the difference between a bowl being full or empty.
Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for standing by us and helping us fight for these animals.
