Is there such a thing such as a food bank for pets?

As many people these days I find myself barely making the bills, let alone being able to buy food for myself. Now I worry about do I buy for myself and not my pets? They are like my children and giving them up to a shelter is inconceivable to me. I know that there are some food banks that give food to the needy, but is there anywhere out there that helps feed pets as well?Is there such a thing such as a food bank for pets?Cheers to you to making sure you take care of your pets... my heart's gone out to you - I can't imagine how painful it would be.



There are organizations like this - I'm not sure where you are, but here in Buffalo, NY the organization is called Buffalo C.A.N. (Companion Animal Network). Originally they helped seniors with pet food, making sure that they could keep their pets. Now with the economy as bad as it is, they've expanded to create a food bank for pets. Check in your area - the SPCA or other shelter might be able to point you in the right direction.

Yes there called restruants, go to any back door and ask for scraps for your animal. they have buckets full of scraps. i'm sure they will be happy.Is there such a thing such as a food bank for pets?Oh my goodness that is sooo sad! :(



I've decided that if I get in a situation where I have to pick between me or my dog, I'd just share my plate with her. I know it's bad to give them table food (and I never have), but sometimes desperate times call for desperate measures.



I hope very much that things work out for you. God bless.Is there such a thing such as a food bank for pets?

Also where I live the SPCA will help people with food. It makes more sense for them to give you food then to take in the pets and then they still need to feed them.

I can understand your feelings about not wanting to give up your pets.
