DONATIONS NEEDED
Ellie’s Pet Pantry was started by a donation from an individual who felt that pets are an important part of the family. She felt that people who have had their pets in-home long term and have suddenly come upon temporary financial setbacks such as losing their job, unexpected medical expenses, etc. need their pets with them even more during their struggle to get back on their feet. The pantry’s purpose is to temporarily assist these long-term pet owners by supplementing what they are able to provide for their pet so that they are able to keep their pet with them in home rather than have to surrender them to a shelter. The pantry provides only dry food (no litter, medical supplies, vaccines, etc.) and is unable to assist breeders, rescues or feral cat colony caretakers. The pantry sustains itself with donations made specifically to Ellie’s Pet Pantry (many which come from individuals who, themselves, have been helped by the pantry). We do require that people call in advance and speak directly to someone rather than just dropping in or leaving a message for food. This is done to ensure that there is food available for them when they come in to the shelter to pick it up so they don’t make the trip here in vain.
