Mission Statement
Pet Food Pantry for Teller County is a non-profit organization dedicated to keeping pets and their families together during tough economic times by providing their animals with food.
About This Cause
The Pet Food Pantry (PFP) for Teller County is 501c3 that has no paid staff, just dedicated volunteers. It was started in January 2009 to provide supplemental pet food so that the families and individuals that found themselves in financially destitute situations could keep their “Best Friends”. Pets are such a significant part of their owner’s lives, offering comfort and companionship that even the thought of being forced to give their pet up due to unfortunate financial circumstances can be devastating. Being able to keep their pet is a reminder that all is not lost. There is hope. In 2016, the PFP helped over 380 individuals and families feed approximately 560 dogs and 530 cats. This amounted to 21,300 lbs. of kibble and 2,300 bags of treats for the dogs, 6,300 lbs. of kibble for the cats plus many cans of food for both. Some people just needed help for a few months. Others are disabled vets or seniors living on limited fixed incomes.
