The Connecticut Humane Society has an urgent need for donations of dry dog food for its Pet Food Pantry and it is asking for help from the public.
The Pet Food Pantry provides nutrition for pets of families facing financial hardships and it needs dry dog food, specifically Purina One, Pedigree, Blue Buffalo, and any other grain-free brands, the Connecticut Humane Society said.
The Connecticut Humane Society said, with the rising costs of living and economic challenges present throughout the state, there is an urgent need for additional resources to aid families in need.
Cash donations are accepted at any time online at CThumane.org/Donate or by check and mailed to CHS.
