Families are being forced to choose – feed themselves or feed their pets.
As the foreclosure crisis spreads forcing homeowners to become renters,
millions of dogs are being left behind to fend for themselves.
“Pets have been among the voiceless victims of the current economic
downturn—”
USA Today has reported that communities with high foreclosures and
unemployment are seeing increased rates of pet abandonment. Animal
shelters are concerned that they will not be able to deal humanely with
the situation.
The average annual cost of owning a dog is about $1,400 according to a
survey conducted by the American Pet Products Association. A recent
poll found that one in seven owners nationwide reported reduced
spending on their pets and of those cutting back, more than a
quarter said they considered giving up their pet.
Our pet food bank is a preventative measure to keep pets our of kill
shelters and in their homes until the family can get on their feet.
Our Meals on Wheels program is a pet food delivery program for disabled
senior citizens and hospice patients who are most effected by the
economy due to their inability to work.

I had a great career and health insurance. I
was struck by breast cancer. I could no had
to rely on the meager coverage of Medicaid
after my savings was wiped out. I cannot
part with my dog, Jess, my love who sees
me through chemo and is always there for
me. St. Seton's delivers pet food for Jess
every month. I don't know what I would do
without it! When I am cured, I plan to give
back. Bless you!

Yogi is my best friend. I had a pension from
a company I worked for after the military. The
company went bankrupt and I couldn't collect
my pension. My only source of income is
disability from the Veteran's Administration.
Thanks to this pet food program, I can feed
my best friend.
