No pet owner ever wants to face a situation where they have to surrender a beloved animal because they just can't afford to feed them. That is the very reason the pet food pantry at the Sioux Falls Area Humane Society exists.

It is there to help struggling individuals and families who are having trouble feeding their furry family members. The need is great as more pet owners than ever are facing this reality.

You can help by making a bagged pet food donation of any kind. Open bags are even accepted if it is an original package. 

You can also make any size cash donation, as everything is greatly appreciated. Become a monthly donor, and your impact will be even greater.

Or you can always shop for the Sioux Falls Area Humane Society with their Amazon Wish List. It's fast, it's easy, and you don't even have to get out of your chair to help! That's what I did today!

They also have the Shelter Wish List and the Chewy Wish List. There are so many ways for you to shop and give to the Sioux Falls Area Humane Society.

Another way you can help is by sharing yourself. The shelter is always looking for great animal-loving humans who have some spare time to give to the four-legged furries waiting for forever homes.

Together, we can make sure that no pet goes hungry—and no family has to say goodbye to a beloved friend just because of hard times.

On a side note, the shelter is currently at full dog capacity and is expecting more to arrive. So if you've been considering adopting, now would be a great time to make that move.
