FOOD FOR DOGS & CATS

Dog and cat food is currently provided for the animals thanks to the generous support of Royal Canin, and the majority of animals in our care are fed only Royal Canin diets. However, sometimes animals require special veterinary diets for specific health conditions. If you are interested in donating food for animals in these situations, or have unopened  to donate from an animal with a specialized diet, please call your closest shelter to make arrangements.

Food for specialized diets (Hypo-allergenic, Urinary S/O) can usually be purchased from your local veterinary clinic.
