They Come to Us Hungry and Lonely

Misty is one of many animals who came to us as thin, hungry strays. She was found wandering alone on the side of the road - hungry, sad, and unsure where to turn. When she arrived at our shelter, her eyes told the story of a dog who’d been on her own for far too long.

With nutritious meals and gentle care, Misty is healing and learning to trust. But big dogs like Misty often stay with us longer, which means extra food, extra care, and extra cost.

Help Us Provide Hungry Pets With Nutritious Food for 2026

Whether they are strays, abandoned, or surrendered, all our shelter pets need nutritious food. A consistent diet of the same type of food, as well as love and care, is an essential part of helping them thrive and remain healthy and adoptable.

Why is a consistent diet important?

• Many animals arrive severely malnourished, underweight, or with health conditions that require special foods.  Special high-quality nutritious foods help them recover more quickly and fully.
  
  
• When the type of food is changed regularly, animals often have digestive issues that can mask illnesses that need treatment.
  
  
• By minimizing digestive problems, animals eat more regularly, maintain stable body weights, and stay healthier.

• Keeping their diet consistent also reduces stress - many animals coming into shelters are already anxious, and familiar food can provide a sense of comfort and stability.
  
  
• A steady diet supports better nutrient absorption, stronger immune systems, and shinier coats, all of which make pets look and feel healthier to potential adopters - so hopefully they go home sooner.
