Pet Food Pantry FAQ
What is the Pet Food Pantry?
Dorchester Paws’ Pet Food Pantry is a temporary service offered to those who are in need of food and or supplies for their pets. It should not be considered as a permanent source of pet food.
How often can I get food for my pets?
We will provide food once per month. The recipient will be allowed to be in the program for 6 months only. If your situation changes and you no longer require assistance, please let us know so we are able to assist another family. Once a recipient has completed his/her allotted time, a waiting period of 6 months will be needed before you can reapply.
How do I qualify for the program?
You must be at least 18 years old and have a valid ID.
Only one person per household/address can receive benefits from the Pet Food Pantry. The recipient, family member, or acquaintances living or staying with the animals in this program cannot have any animal neglect or cruelty charges against or pending against them.
Pet food recipients cannot take on any additional animals while receiving assistance.
Recipients agree not to hold Dorchester Paws, its volunteers, and benefactors legally liable in the unfortunate event your pet(s) become ill or the food upsets a pet(s) stomach.
Recipients understand that the food and supplies are given as a donation and are to be treated as such. Food and supplies are not to be sold, given away, or returned to the store.
