Pet Pantry Program
Suncoast Humane Society and Englewood's Meals on Wheels Program will join together to feed those in need.
Some of the recipients of Martha Blenner's Meals on Wheels Program also have an animal companion and that is where we come in. Many of you bring us donations of dog and cat food and we thought this would be a perfect avenue to help feed those precious companions.
If you have some unopened pet food and would like to donate it to the Pet Meals on Wheels program, please visit our shelter or call 941-474-7884. Any quality food brand is accepted.
You can drop off your donations at any of our thrift stores or our animal care facility on San Casa drive in Englewood.
Florida Animal Friend
The Florida Animal Friend License Plate will help stop pet overpopulation. The funds raised from the sale of the license plates will be used for spay/neuter programs across the State of Florida. For more information please click on the following link:
