Pet Food Pantry Application


HSCC’s Pet Food Pantry is designed to support pet owners facing financial hardship by providing temporary pet food assistance. One in four pet owners who surrender their pets cite financial difficulties as the reason. By offering supplemental food support, HSCC aims to keep pets in their homes and out of shelters.

Many individuals will prioritize feeding their pets over themselves, or may resort to feeding them table scraps which can lead to health issues. Our goal is to ensure pets remain healthy and with the families who love them.

Please note: We are unable to provide food for individuals feeding feral cat colonies.

The Pet Food Pantry provides supplemental, temporary pet food assistance so pets can stay in loving homes. Please tell us about your pets so we can help.
