The Pet Pantry's mission is to distribute pet food to families in need in order to keep pets and their families together in times of hardship.
(6)

When a family is struggling to make ends meet and they have to sacrifice, a family pet is the one individual that they can rely on to believe in them and love them. It can be devastating to have to give up on a best friend when you feel like everybody else has given up on you. We work to keep that heart beating within a family that is struggling, to keep that hope and love within their home. We do

not want any person to feel that they have failed the one individual that never failed them. When it becomes difficult to make ends meet the most expensive and non vital to survival things must be sacrificed first. Unfortunately pet food is expensive, running up a bill of around $700 for dogs and $300 for cats per year. These expenses come before medical costs and everyday items such as kennels, beds, and sanitary items like doggie bags or cat litter. We try to offset these expenses by distributing pet food to those families that are struggling. We are entirely made up of volunteers. The need for services like ours greatly exceed the help that we can provide at this time. We are constantly working to increase our funds and donations so that we can help to feed even more pets in need and move out into the communities around us and beyond. 100% of any donation on your part would go directly toward food for the pets we serve and is tax-deductible. Help us feed pets in need because pets give us the love and hope we need to keep believing in ourselves and our situations. They are loyal when we lose everything. They are caring when we cannot care for them. They love us unconditionally and no matter what they will not stop believing in us even when we stop believing in ourselves. Help us help others who have fallen on tough times.

PANTRY UPDATE:

Hello all,

As you may know we hold our pet food distribution at the APCSM on the second weekend of every month. This weekend, however, the APCSM is hosting an event at the shelter from 2-6pm. It is going to be a bit hectic and there will be limited parking so we recommend coming on Sunday 8/13 from 12-3pm if you need pet food.

You may also schedule a pickup on a different date by requesting pet food from shelter staff at [email protected].

Thank you and we hope you are enjoying your summer!

Our Story

We are a nonprofit organization serving areas of Southeastern Massachusetts with the explicit goal of keeping families and pets together during tough economic times. We distribute food through local food pantries and sites located in Taunton, Brockton, Easton, Stoughton, and Norton, Massachusetts. When a family is struggling to make ends meet and they have to sacrifice, a family pet is the one individual that they can rely on to believe in them and love them. It can be devastating to have to give up on a best friend when you feel like everybody else has given up on you. We work to keep that heart beating within a family that is struggling, to keep that hope and love within their home. We do not want any person to feel that they have failed the one individual that never failed them. When it becomes difficult to make ends meet, the most expensive and non-vital to survival things must be sacrificed first. Unfortunately pet food is expensive, running up a bill of around $700 for dogs and $300 for cats per year. These expenses come before medical costs and everyday items such as kennels, beds, and sanitary items like doggie bags or cat litter. We try to offset these expenses by distributing pet food to those families that are struggling. We are entirely made up of volunteers and currently distribute out of several food pantries. We are constantly working to increase our funds and donations so that we can help to feed even more pets in need and move out into the communities around us and beyond. 100% of any donation on your part would go directly toward The Pet Pantry and is tax-deductible.
