Pet Food Assistance

 

Pet Food Assistance Program

The Placer SPCA is here to help the companion animals of Placer County and their owners in times of financial hardship. We are happy to provide pet food when available to those in need. No appointment is necessary; however, assistance is dependent on supplies available. You must be a Placer County resident. Food may be picked up every 30 days.

The Placer SPCA receives all pet food in this program solely through donations. We may not have the same brand or type of food for your pet at all times. At the time of signing up you must meet and prove all eligibility requirements. Our food assistance program is meant to be temporary assistance in your time of need. You will need to reapply annually and all eligibility requirements must be met.

The quantity of food given every 30 days is determined by the size of your animals, using the following guidelines, and is at our discretion.

As critical need for our Pet Food Assistance Program continues, increased funding has been made possible by Placer Shares program facilitated by Placer Community Foundation (by way of the Coronavirus Relief Fund and the CARES Act).
