Providing programs and services like our Pet Food Pantry recognizes the importance of the human-animal bond and the well-being of both pets and their owners. By providing assistance with pet food and supplies, we can help to alleviate financial burdens on pet owners. This not only benefits the pets by keeping them in loving homes, it contributes to healthier communities where both pets and people thrive together.

If you, or someone you know, is struggling to pay for your pet’s food, leash, toys, treats or other pet products, we may be able to help! When we have extra supplies on hand, we are more than happy to give items to folks in need.

Our pet food pantry is open every day during shelter adoption hours, at our South Elgin location only. Please visit our Contact Us page for our most up-to-date hours. No appointment or donation is required to receive pet food pantry items.
