Emergency Pet Food Bank
When pet owners experience financial hardships, pets often suffer.
-
Owners can be faced with having to choose between food for themselves or food for their pets.
-
In some cases, owners will substitute pet foods for human foods that pets cannot digest, leading to health problems caused by poor diet and improper nutrition.
-
Others will surrender beloved pets to shelters or rescues and in more severe instances, pets are turned loose or neglected when they can no longer be cared for.
