Who Do We Help?

We serve as a safety net organization offering temporary assistance to loving pet families experiencing a financial crisis and struggling to properly feed their pets. We also support the pets of the homeless/displaced.

We have a monthly Pet Food Pantry event (typically)

on the first Saturday of each month in the parking lot of

LifeSpring Christian Church in Star, Idaho.

Click here for upcoming EVENTS as the dates and times do vary.

We partner with several organizations to support referrals from the following organizations. If you are facing a temporary financial crisis and food insecurity, you can apply for help through our application page.

  • Families visiting Star Outreach Food Bank

  • Cancer patient referrals from St. Luke’s Cancer Institute

  • Hospice patient referrals from local in-home Hospice networks

  • Military Veterans from Pets for Vets Boise Chapter & other local VA organizations

  • Injured First Responders

  • Homeless/displaced pet families

  • Relocated victims of domestic violence

  • Victims of human trafficking

  • Faces of Hope Clients

Our organization currently prioritizes pet families residing within the Treasure Valley community, as we have limited resources and a small team. We do our best to thoroughly evaluate each application to ensure that families take advantage of all available support from local aid organizations. We aspire to broaden our services as community support amplifies.
