TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (WCTV) – The Leon County Humane Society is asking the community to donate dry dog and cat food as supplies at its Community Pet Pantry continue to dwindle.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe pet pantry is a lifesaver for people and their pets,\u201d said Executive Director Lisa Glunt. \u201cIt keeps families together. It keeps animals out of rescues and animal shelters when space is already so sparse.\u201d<\/p>\n
The pantry provides free pet food and essential items to families in Leon County and surrounding areas who need help caring for their pets, especially during difficult financial times.<\/p>\n

According to the non-profit, donations typically decline during the summer months, even though the demand is steady.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe have a greater number of animals in our care with fewer donations coming in for pets in need, and that need never stops,\u201d said Glunt.<\/p>\n
Community members can help by donating dry dog and cat food at the Leon County Humane Society\u2019s office on Timberlane Road during regular business hours.<\/p>\n
Monetary donations are also accepted and help support the shelter\u2019s other programs, including its Animal Medical Assistance Program, which provides financial assistance for veterinary care on a case-by-case basis.<\/p>\n
