Pet Food Assistance

THE FOOD ASSISTANCE PANTRY PROGRAM IS BEING REVISED AND HAS BEEN SUSPENDED UNTIL 1/1/19.  The food assistance pantry is designed to provide temporary assistance with pet food and other care needs. In order to receive this assistance, your family must NOT be engaged in breeding pets or in using them for illegal activities.   You must agree to maintain your pets in healthy condition.  Finally, you must agree to use the pet food which you are given to feed YOUR pets.  You cannot sell or barter the pet food for other products.

If you meet the above requirements, call us at 419-947-5791 option 4 to discuss your pet food needs.  We do not always have food available.  We rely strictly on donations from organizations and individuals to keep this part of our community outreach going.

Assistance with Pet Medical Costs

The HSofMC can also provide limited monetary assistance for pet medical costs which exceed the financial capabilities of low-income pet owners. You may contact us at 419-947-5791 Option 4 to inquire about this service.
​

Spay/Neuter Assistance

 Morrow County Residency Required.
​Form and payment must be mailed to:
HSofMC PO Box 298, Mt. Gilead, OH 43338
​ or dropped off at The Animal Resource Center.
Once this completed form and payment are received,
you will receive a confirmation email. 
Whenever possible, the HSofMC encourages the family to make a co-payment to assist with spay/neuter charges. 

​This also allows our program to continue for other people that need help in the future.  We would like to emphasize the importance of spaying and neutering to eliminate unwanted animals in the community.  You may contact us at 419-947-5791 Option 4 to inquire about this service.
