About this program

When you come to pick up food, please bring a photo ID. You can get food from the Pet Food Bank once every 30 days. As we sometimes run low or run out of food, you can call us at (770) 593-1155 to find out if we currently have food available.

Available through the Pet Food Bank: dry cat food, wet (canned) cat food, dry dog food, wet (canned) dog food.

Please note that all food is donated. This means that the food we have may be different from what you've received in the past. We will provide what we have in stock, but it may not be your first choice. The food bank includes only pet food and does not include any other pet supplies such as toys, litter, or beds. Due to limited supply, we can only provide one unit of food per visit per household.

Part of caring for the animals in our community is caring for their owners. When people face situations of economic hardship, it can be difficult to keep up with the costs of owning a pet. Providing pet food to families in need can prevent the heartbreaking surrender of a beloved dog or cat to already overcrowded shelters. We aim to keep people and pets together, and our Pet Food Bank is vital to accomplishing that mission.

If you are able to assist in stocking our food bank, your generosity would be greatly appreciated. Any brand of cat or dog food is accepted, as long as the bag is unopened and unexpired. Donations can be dropped off in person in our covered donation bin by our front gate or shipped to 5287 Covington Hwy, Decatur, GA 30035.
