Pet Food Assistance
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 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.
The Humane Society of Morrow County (the “HSofMC”) pledges to provide as much outreach service to the community of Morrow County as possible, by providing pet food and medical services to those in need within the County. 

Qualifications for receiving Assistance.
If your family is a recipient of services provided by federal, state or local agencies you may qualify for obtaining assistance for your pet from the HSofMC. 

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 to inquire about this service.
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   to inquire about this service.
