Help Southwest Colorado Pet Pantry

Colorado Pet Pantry believes pets are family. Over the course of a pet’s life, many people may experience hardships, but those challenges shouldn’t mean that a pet family cannot stay together.

For Colorado Pet Pantry, this year marks 11 years of helping Colorado’s pets stay with their families, through more than 100 monthly statewide pet food pantries including Bayfield, Cortez, Dove Creek, Mancos and Towaoc. We also serve residents in Durango through our mini program, with monthly allotments distributed at Manna Soup Kitchen, Lumien and Espero Apartments, as well as to the Humane Society of Pagosa Springs and the Cortez Animal Shelter. 

In 2024, CPP estimates to serve 720,725 pet meals to 2,766 families in Southwest Colorado. That equates to 86,985 pounds of dry pet food and 6,850 cans of wet pet food. 

This year, I am fundraising for Colorado Pet Pantry, because I believe that pets and people deserve to stick together.

Because most of the pet food distributed is donated, we are able to feed a dog or cat for only $5 per month. Colorado Pet Pantry has developed an efficient distribution system, leveraging more than 1000 volunteers, so they can keep the cost of feeding pets low, even at a time when price increases are causing expenses to continue upward.

Your donation not only allows pets to stay with their people, but also gives relief to our state’s hard-working animal shelters and rescues, by keeping loved pets in their homes.

Friends, please join me in donating to such an important cause.

Thank you!
