The event supported 155 community members and over 350 pets. It saved each household over $100 and helping families redirect those funds toward other essential needs according to said Shawn Morey, PHS CEO.
“Pet Pantries are a critical part of our commitment to keeping people and pets together,” he said. “Financial hardship remains one of the leading reasons families are forced to consider surrendering a beloved pet. By offering proactive support, we can reduce that pressure and prevent unnecessary heartbreak.”
