Donating dog food and dog stuff

drizzellla · ‎03-14-2010

We have cases of just about every dog food, two memory foam dog beds (I washed them 2 times), water fountain, thunder shirt, ramp to get into car (never used) and lots of other stuff.

We want to donate. I emailed the Collie Rescue people on Monday. Asking if they would recommend any group to donate this stuff. I have not heard back from them.

In the past we have taken cases of dog food to WSPCA.

But I read and saw pictures from a lady that donated boxes of stuff to WSPCA. She accidentally included her dog's collar. So she went back to ask about it. She was told they didn't see it. She looked in the dumpster and there were all the items that she donated. She took pictures. From what I could tell the stuff looked like new. Why didn't they just say they didn't want the stuff rather than take it and just throw it out.

Anyone know of organizations that would want cases of unopened dog food and other stuff?

Our local county animal shelter does.

Try your vet, especially if they board animals.

We have a Best Friends adoption center that accepts any kind of donations. I've also given food and treats to our Humane Society. They are very appreciative.

My local no kill shelter accepts unopened pet food, wet and dry. They are currently by appt only but volunteers are there during posted hours so you can leave donations at the front door.

Also my local food pantry accepts unopened pet food. Michigan's unemployment is very high and the pantry will post requested items on their website.

I believe the Meals on Wheels program will take donations as many of their clients have limited incomes and they have pets, so donations are very much appreciated.
