When Gidget arrived at the shelter, she was emaciated, anemic, suffering from roundworms and whipworms, and had a bad infection in her mouth. She was also heart worm positive and had fluid in her abdomen that might have been indicative of heart damage from the heart worms. While she received treatment for her various medical issues, Gidget was able to return to a healthy weight thanks to the high-quality, healthy food her shelter received through the GOODS program.
July 19–25, 2026
When one-year-old Haven was found abandoned outside a shipping facility, she weighed just 25 pounds and was too weak to stand. Veterinarians at an emergency hospital worked to stabilize her, but it was clear that after prolonged starvation, Haven’s condition was critical and her survival uncertain. Thanks to around-the-clock care, Haven slowly began to heal, and a carefully managed feeding plan with prescription food provided by Greater Good Charities set her firmly on the road to recovery.
Haven was given a second chance thanks to food donations. But countless other stray and abandoned pets are waiting for theirs.
We urgently need your help to fund 3 million meals for shelter pets between July 19 - 25. Your tax-deductible gift of just $50 can ship 1,000 meals to rescue pets in need!

One of the biggest expenses for shelters and rescue groups is feeding animals in their care. Of the 5.8 million animals that entered shelters last year, 1.6 million remained there, hungry and waiting for adoption. With more and more bellies to fill and the costs of food and other basic pet supplies rising, many rescues are left with little to nothing in their budgets for medical treatment, vaccines, or adoption programs.
Greater Good Charities works to fill this gap by shipping donated food to rescue groups across the country through the only national pet food banking system in the U.S. We make sure shelter animals are fed and shelters have extra money in their budgets to help dogs and cats in desperate need.
Over the last nine years of National Feed a Rescue Pet Week, your donations have provided over 33.8 million meals for animals awaiting their forever homes. Now, in honor of the 10th anniversary of this lifesaving campaign, we urgently need your support to provide 3 million meals for shelter pets before July 25. Give today!
