People & Pets Together

People & Pets Together is working hard to ensure that no pet goes without food, and families stay together, during the COVID-19 pandemic. We are seeing increased demand from families facing financial difficulties. Your support will allow us to continue to provide pet food and other help to a growing number of people in need.

“I think I could stand to lose everything else, but I can't give up my dogs.”
This comment from a client at the People & Pets Together pet food shelf is a sentiment we often hear. Sometimes — in sickness, or after losing a job — we need our pets the most when we can least afford them.

People & Pets Together helps families facing economic hardship by providing pet food to food shelves in the Minneapolis-St. Paul metropolitan area, by operating a pet food shelf in Minneapolis, with a veterinary assistance grant program, and through other programs that keep pets healthy and in loving homes.

By supporting the relationships that people have with their pets, People & Pets Together hopes to improve the health of our communities and let everyone feel the love and support that a relationship with a pet can bring.

2021 has been a busy year! Each week at the People & Pets Together pet food shelf we help dozens of families feed and care for beloved pets. In addition, more than 45,000 pounds of pet food has been delivered to Twin Cities food shelves so far this year! People & Pets Together's veterinary assistance grant program continues to help cover emergency vet bills for low-income households.

No matter how much you choose to give, your donation to People & Pets Together makes a difference!

People & Pets Together is a program of Secondhand Hounds, a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization.
