Food Pantry
One of the biggest reasons that a pet is surrendered to the shelter is lack of funds. Stuff happens. Just because you fall on hard times, doesn’t mean you should have to give up a member of your family. Here are a couple of food pantries in Philadelphia. You can also check with your local food bank. Many food banks also carry pet supplies, in addition to people food.

Medical Needs
No one ever expects our 4-legged friends to become seriously ill or injured. Here are some places that you can contact in case you or someone you know need some resources for your fur-baby. Some of these funds can help offer money towards your vet bill and are not meant to handle emergency situations. If your pet is seriously injured or ill, please take them to the nearest emergency hospital.
Emergency Services
Red Paw Emergency Relief Services are 24/7 disaster relief services. Often working with the Red Cross, they will help displaced families and their pets free of charge.
