Are you experiencing financial hardship and in need of pet food? The Humane Society Silicon Valley's Pet Pantry Program may be able to help you. The goal of this program is to ensure that families who love their pets can continue to care for their pets (these families are defined as “bonded families”). HSSV’s Pet Pantry supports bonded families by providing pet food to pet guardians who cannot afford to feed their pets. Sometimes, pets are surrendered to shelters simply because the guardian has lost his/her job and can no longer provide the food that the pet needs.
The Pet Pantry program exists to ensure that a lack of food won’t cause a bonded family to be broken apart, due to surrendering the pet to a shelter, and to decrease stress on the humans who love their pets.
Pet Pantry is available to all bonded family residents of Santa Clara county experiencing financial hardship.
Unfortunately, prescription diets are not available at this time.
