Come volunteer with us!

Our Food Distribution Days are every other Sunday, next one being tomorrow 10/18! We distribute several hundred pounds of dog and cat food, as well as lunches for the humans too!

We meet at 1:45pm to start making our lunch bags, and typically end around 3:30-4pm. Only requirement is you must be physically fit to walk several miles as we walk through downtown Reno hitting several spots to do most of our distribution.

Want to join us? Send us a message for details on where to meet!

🐾 Community helping community ❤️

A heartfelt and huge THANK YOU to Om Home Healing Sanctuary for sharing this incredible donation of dog and cat food and treats with us.

Your generosity will allow us to help provide food for people and pets in need throughout our community, far more than we ever imagined we’d be able to reach at this time.

There are no words to fully express how grateful we are. Every bag of food, every treat, and every act of kindness means another hungry pet can be fed and another family can feel a little less alone.

We are so incredibly thankful for organizations that believe in helping one another and understand that when we come together, we can make such a difference.

Thank you for helping us help others. We are truly, truly grateful. 🐾❤️

We are seeking fosters in the Reno, NV area!

Our mission is to provide short-term transitional housing for dogs whose owners of our community are temporarily unable to care for them. This includes individuals seeking medical or physical treatment, transitioning into temporary housing that does not allow pets, or facing other short-term crises. By offering this support, we aim to prevent dogs from entering local shelters and prioritize reunification with their original owners whenever possible.

If you’re interested in fostering with us, please reach out to us directly or use the link in our bio to fill out our Foster Interest Form!

Other ways to help include sharing this post, donating to us directly through our website, and using our wish list to donate food towards our Pet Food Distribution Project!

Thank you for your support of our mission to better support our community ❤️🐾
