These wonderful local businesses have bins set up to collect pet food and supply donations for Grand Rapids Pit Bull Alliance Pet Food Bank and Outreach programs.

Our pet food bank and outreach programs have been supporting our community since 2017. In 2023, our non-profit organization provided 29,000 lbs of pet food to families facing financial hardships, we are on the path to exceed that number in 2024! The need is real and growing.

Grand Rapids Pit Bull Alliance is 100% supported by fundraising efforts, community support, generous donors and operated entirely by volunteers.

Pet food donations are always a great need, especially dry kibble both dog and cat food and flea & tick prevention for both cats and dogs.

As the weather warms up, parasites such as fleas, ticks, and heartworms become more active. Although they never truly go away, there's a noticeable increase in cases during spring. While fleas and ticks may seem bothersome, they carry diseases that can be fatal to pets. Similarly, heartworms pose a serious threat to a pet's cardiovascular health.

To protect your furry friend during outdoor activities this season, reach out to us to us today to schedule an appointment and pick up your preventatives!
