If you are struggling to feed your pet, we are here to help! We are committed to supporting pets and their people in our community, keeping pets in loving, happy, safe homes. Our Pet Pantry program helps Northern Nevada families in need of pet food for their furry friends.
In 2024, we distributed 199,080 pounds of pet food to families and community cat caretakers, which helps keep pets with their families and out of shelters!
We are always in need of pet food donations! If you’d like to contribute food to our Pet Pantry, please bring your donations to either of our locatoins: Reno (2825 Longley Lane) or Carson City (549 Airport Road). Or, you can order pet food from our Pet Pantry Wishlist and it will be delivered directly to our door. All dry and wet, non-prescription food in its original packaging can be donated.

"I am so grateful for the support that Nevada Humane Society has given time and time again. I work for an organization that provides shelter for our community’s unhoused and their pets. Nevada Humane Society has provided pet food and services to those we shelter! I could not have done it without the support they have provided! They are kind, generous, and always willing to help! Thank you for being excellent partners and making our community better!"

I’m so very grateful to the Nevada Humane Society for all they do! For a number of years, I’ve been feeding close to 16 community cats and I have two dogs as well, and their Pet Pantry program has been a real life-saver! All of the staff & volunteers are so kind and gracious! I absolutely cannot say enough good things or give enough thanks for this support and the pet food they provide to me for my pets. Thanks for everything!"

"I am so very grateful to the Pet Pantry at the Nevada Humane Society. Without the the Pet Pantry, I don't know what I would have done, as they help to provide food and other items necessary for my cats. With the cost of pet food rising, it's a true blessing for any and all of the help that they give to me. I am able to make sure that they are taken care with food and kindness. Thank you so very much Nevada Humane Society and Pet Pantry for all you do to help people care for the animals that we love."
