Pet Food Pantry needs donations

http://www.cincinnatipetfoodpantry.org/

During these difficult economic times, some families are facing the choice between feeding themselves or taking care of loved ones. This choice is made by parents of low-income families every day and many times involves the family pet. Feed the family or feed the family pet? Visit the doctor or provide food to the loved pet? Local shelters and animal rescues are experiencing an increase in owner relinquishments of family pets due to the family’s inability to afford pet food and pet care for their beloved 4 legged family members.


Giving up a family pet to make sure it is has food and is healthy is a very traumatic experience for both the humans AND the animal. Fortunately, many families will no longer be required to make the choice to feed themselves or their pets. The Cincinnati Pet Food Pantry will provide temporary food assistance to Pet Guardians who are currently unable to afford food for their pets and may be forced to give up their pets without food assistance. Dog and cat food as well as a limited supply of cat litter will be available.

Our Mission
To keep pets with their families and prevent pets from being surrendered to local shelters, turned loose, or otherwise given up because a Pet Guardian is unable to afford food for their pet.

Who We Are
The Cincinnati Pet Food Pantry is a program run by the Cincinnati--based animal rescue, Recycled Doggies, in association with the Pet Alliance. Recycled Doggies focuses on saving dogs from death row at local animal shelters and finding them new homes. However, in addition to saving the dogs already in shelters, Recycled Doggies wants to be part of the solution by preventing family pets from being given up to shelters in the first place. Recycled Doggies hopes to bring awareness to the effect that the economy is having on pet owners in our area by offering pet food assistance. Recycled Doggies is a non-profit, 501(c)(3) tax-exempt organization. Recycled Doggies has a website, www.recycleddoggies.org.

Pet Alliance is a 501(c)(3) non-profit animal organization that has been helping animals and animal rescuers since 2006. Pet Alliance’s Mission is to create and support programs that will help ensure homes for all homeless cats and dogs. Pet Alliance’s role is to promote Spay/Neuter and Microchip education as well as assist the community and fellow animal organizations in their animal-related needs utilizing collaborative efforts and programs such as: www.SpayOhio.org, www.MicrochipUSA.org and the SW Ohio Pet Food Bank, which will assist the Cincinnati Pet Food Pantry for the community.

Recycled Doggies, a 501(c)(3) non-profit Cincinnati Dog Rescue, and the Pet Alliance are opening the Cincinnati Pet Food Pantry to help owners who are currently unable to afford food for their pets.

The organizers say they noticed, in their work rescuing animals, that many dogs and cats are given up or put down because their owners can't afford to feed them. So they decided to step in and help.
Dog and cat food as well as a limited supply of cat litter will be available at the new center, located at Queen City Self-Storage, 4775 Red Bank Expressway, Cincinnati, Ohio 45227 (located behind the Red Bank Emergency Vet Clinic just off I-71 at the Red Bank exit).

Distribution days will be as announced to the public, depending on availability of donations, beginning on March 6th. Organizers are hoping for donations from individuals and businesses. The center will conduct pet food drives each Saturday this month to gather supplies and haas already gotten a large donation of treats and supplies from Hartz.

Patrons of the Cincinnati Pet Food Pantry can also receive low-cost spay/neuter services through the Pet Alliance program Spay Ohio and affordable microchipping from MicroChip USA during the month of February, thanks to a donation.

People wanting to help should gather food and other items among their friends and co-workers and donate them on one of the four dates:

- Saturday, February 6
- Saturday, February 13
- Sunday, February 21
- Saturday, February 27
