Running low on pet food to keep your furry
friend happy during quarantine? Don't worry, because the Louisiana SPCA has you
covered! The organization just announced that they are expanding their public
pet food pantry program by offering pickup and delivery options for pet owners
who are struggling due to the pandemic. In addition to their supply of over
25,000 pounds of pet food and pet supplies, the Louisiana SPCA is also
providing Second Harvest Food Bank with a hefty supply of pet food to be
distributed to the public.
Pet owners who are interested in accessing the
food pantry must make an appointment at the Louisiana SPCA's New Orleans Campus
in Algiers. Residents of all Louisiana parishes may pick up food from the
pantry, but delivery orders are reserved for residents of New Orleans and
Plaquemines Parish only, due to limited resources. Pet owners without
transportation who are self-quarantining or who have mobility issues will be
given priority for delivery services.
If you're interested in helping out with the
LSPCA's efforts, you can donate unopened pet food to the pantry by either
physically dropping it off at the New Orleans location or by donating through
their virtual wishlist, at la-spca.org/covidwishlist. To learn more about how you may access the food pantry,
please visit the Louisiana SPCA website or call 504-368-5191.
