Application for Pet Food Assistance

We’re here to help when your pet’s bowl is empty.

If you need help feeding your pets – cats and dogs – please consider applying for help before giving them up to a shelter.

The Pet Food Pantry provides free supplemental pet food to pet owners in Wake, Johnston, Franklin, Harnett, Durham, Chatham, and Granville counties only who cannot afford to feed their pets. This will keep pets fed while the owner finds additional ways to feed their pets.

Please ensure you meet the eligibility requirements and have reviewed our policies before applying or reapplying for assistance.

Appointments for the Pet Food Pantry are available Mondays, Thursdays, and Fridays from 10am to 2pm, and the first Saturday of the month from 9am-12pm. Your appointment will last 15 or 20 minutes.

If you prefer to mail in your application, and send it to:
SAFE Haven’s Pet Food Pantry: 8431-137 Garvey Drive, Raleigh NC 27616

The Pet Food Pantry employee will contact you if you are accepted. If you have any questions, please call us at 919-341-4103 or email us at SHFC-PFP@safehavenforcats.org
