Pet Food Assistance

To qualify, those seeking pet food need to be approved in person at a one time application appointment prior to receiving their first distribution. Approvals for receiving pet food will be based on the household income guidelines set by the State of Arizona. If your family exceeds the income guidelines, please let us know your circumstances. We can review each situation on a case by case basis. Proof of income can be a pay stub, unemployment stub, or a card from a government assistance program.

NOTE: this program is for individual pet owners. We are unable to provide assistance to independent pet rescuers. If you have rescued more animals than you are able to feed, we can provide you with information and recommend that you work with a non-profit 501(c)3 Rescue Organization.

NOTE: we do not provide pet food assistance to breeders (of any kind). If you have puppies or kittens that you are planning on selling, you are strictly prohibited from pet food assistance. We strongly recommend that all pets be spayed/neutered and would be happy to assist with costs if needed.

Please bring a valid Photo ID when applying

NOTE: we are not able to donate to wild cat populations. Our main focus is helping families to be able to keep their pets by providing free pet food. Please contact us if you have a colony and we will try to help with finding resources.

Spay/Neuter assistance may be available to those who qualify
