Pet Food Pantry and More!

In order to receive free supplemental food for your pets, you must complete an application each time you visit the pantry. Registering on-line prior to the event will guarantee you pet food even if we run out of food at the event. If you sign-up on-site and we run out of food we will do our best to help you but can not guarantee assistance.  

We are 100% donation based. Food and extras are subject to availability. Our goal is to help as many pet owners as possible but without funds, we will scale back, or portion control the amount of food we hand out. This means you may or may not receive the same amount of food as you have at a past pantry. 

* Please note that you must complete a registration form for each time you need assistance. 

* People may also complete a registration on-site however, food may be limited.

We currently hold our pet food pantries every two months at the Cloverland Townhall in Eagle River. Check our  Facebook Page  or events page for announcements, times and directions/address.  

Our program provides SUPPLEMENTAL PET FOOD is provided for existing family pets only. Supplemental pet food is not intended to cover 100% of needs or be a fully continuous supply of food. Our services are intended to supplement, not replace, your regular purchase of pet food and supplies.

Dogs and cats that are domesticated whose physical, emotional, behavioral and social needs can be readily met as companions in the home, or in close daily relationship with humans. What a companion dog or cat is not; feral cats or feral colonies, and non-companion hunting dogs.

Between-pantry assistance is reserved for new clients and urgent, one-time needs only.

It is not available for ongoing or continuous support. Clients are expected to attend scheduled pantry events for regular assistance. If you fit this criteria please complete this form and a volunteer will reach out to you and discuss a day and time for you to pick up food. 

If you pre-register for our Pet Food Pantry and cannot attend, you must provide at least 24 hours notice by completing our cancellation form:

• Failure to attend without prior notice will be recorded as a no-show. Two no-shows may result in a temporary loss of pantry privileges.

Advance notice is required so we can accurately plan food distribution and serve as many families as possible.

The purpose of our pet food assistance program is to help individuals care for the pets they already have during times of financial hardship. To ensure we can continue providing consistent and sufficient support to all who need it, we must set guidelines that help us manage our limited resources fairly and responsibly.

Acquiring additional pets while receiving assistance places added strain on both your household and our program. It increases the demand for food and care, which may not be sustainable for someone already facing financial difficulty. It also limits our ability to help other individuals and families in need.

By asking participants not to take on new pets during the period of assistance, we aim to:

Ensure the well-being of the pets already in your care

Use resources wisely and equitably

Promote responsible pet ownership during financially challenging times

We understand the love and compassion that come with wanting to help more animals, but our first responsibility is to ensure that every animal currently receiving help is properly cared for.

We allow one person to pick up food for ONE person ONLY. The person you are picking up for MUST complete this form to receive assistance. No exceptions. 
We reserve the right to deny this option. If that happens, a volunteer will reach out to you. 

We do offer extra pet related items at our pantries. These items typically include dog and cat treats, kitty litter, toys, collars, leashes and more. At check-in you will receive cards based on the number and species of pets you have. You then use these cards to go "shopping" with. So much fun!

• We do limit the total number of cards to 4 so that we can ensure there are enough items for everyone.
• We usually have a "free" table where people can shop for items that do not require a card but we ask that people take only what they can use. 

Pet parents that are receiving pet food assistance can bring their pets to our pantry for a free nail trim! There is a line on the registration form where you can tell us how many of your pets you'll be brining.  

We also offer $5 nail trims to the public. No registration is needed but we do recommend arriving between 1:45-2:15 to avoid a wait.
