Did you know that donating\u00a0pet food<\/b>\u00a0to food pantries is one of the simplest ways to keep pets OUT of shelters?!<\/p>\n

Right now, more of our neighbors are skipping meals, cutting medications in half, or turning off their heat so they can afford to take care of their dogs or cats. For many, it won’t be enough & they’ll still<\/em> have to say goodbye to a pet they love. YOUR donations today could help us change that.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Last year,\u00a0Second Chance Animal Services<\/strong> gave enough pet food to local food pantries to feed 16,000 dogs & cats<\/strong>, helping keep them out of shelters & with those who love them the most. Now, we have a chance to double the number food we donate to local pantries each year.<\/p>\n

Each week volunteers come to our tiny, overcrowded building to prepare pet food to distribute to 20 Massachusetts food pantries. With just a little more space, we could store much more donated food. We could host more food prep volunteers, more often. In short, we could feed thousands more dogs & cats each year. <\/strong>We’ve got the plans in hand, and we’ve already raised close to $50,000 of the $250,000 we’ll need. Now we just need you!<\/p>\n

Together we can help keep more pets hungry and happy….and at home with the people who love them.\u00a0 Now is the time to give.\u00a0 Can you help?<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Please\u00a0watch the video<\/a>\u00a0for details.\u00a0\u00a0We know times are tough for many and if you aren\u2019t able to give, \u00a0we’d ask that you consider instead sharing this email with friends and family.\u00a0 Every bit helps.<\/p>\n

\u200b\u200b\u200b\u200bWe\u2014and innocent pets like Kyla\u2014are so grateful for your help and your support.\u00a0 Thanks!<\/p>\n
