Helping families keep their pets fed and at home.

No one should have to give up a beloved pet due to temporary hardship. Our Pet Pantry provides free food and supplies for families in need.

Thanks to the generosity of our community, we provide free pet food and basic supplies to families in Sumner County who need a little extra support.

Need Assistance?

If you’re going through a hardship, we’re here for you—judgment-free and with open arms.
We offer:

  • Dog and cat food (dry and wet, when available)
  • Treats, litter, and basic supplies
  • Access to other resources that may help keep your pet at home
To request help, we need a few details to better understand your situation and how we can assist.

Want to Help Stock the Pantry?

Our pantry runs entirely on community donations. Every bag of kibble or can of food you give helps keep a pet with their person—right where they belong.

We accept:

  • New, unopened bags or cans of dog and cat food
  • Litter, treats, leashes, and other supplies
  • Monetary donations for emergency needs

Donations can be dropped off at the shelter during business hours or purchased through our Amazon wishlist.

Why It Matters

Sometimes a little help is all it takes to prevent a pet from entering the shelter. By supporting the Pet Pantry—whether you’re receiving help or giving it—you’re part of a powerful mission to keep pets in loving homes.

Thank you, Sumner County, for filling the Pet Pantry and our hearts!
