The Mohawk Hudson Humane Society in Menands is calling for donations of dry dog and cat food to support its Furry Friends Pet Food Pantry. The shelter's food pantry shelves are currently empty, although there is enough food to feed the animals in their care. The donations will help struggling pet owners in the community keep their pets at home.
The shelter emphasizes the importance of keeping pets with the families who love them, and through their program, they provide food and limited pet supplies to those in need. Donations can be dropped off at the shelter from noon to 6 p.m. Monday through Friday, and from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Saturday. The shelter is closed on Sundays.
The Mohawk Hudson Humane Society relies heavily on private donations to carry out its work. They request that all donated food be unopened and do not accept raw or raw-coated pet food products. For more information, potential donors can contact the shelter via email at customercare@mohawkhumane.org or by phone at 518-434-8128.
