You may pay special attention to our GOODS program. We currently partner with hundreds of animal welfare organizations regularly, so hopefully you can find one of our GOODS Ambassadors that can support your needs. GOODS Ambassadors receive donated products which could come from many of our donors (Purina, Royal Canin, Chewy, etc.) and they have recipients which can then receive smaller allocations of these donations. You can inquire with the Ambassador closest to you which can be found on this map.
Thank you for your commitment to positive outcomes for pets and people in your community.
