How Does Your Donation Help?

Every dollar donated to the Colorado Pet Pantry is worth $5 in pet food. Combine that with the fact that your donation helps a pet stay with its family—keeping the dog or cat out of the shelter where it would need to be housed, fed, walked, cared for, and re-homed. Your donation makes a huge difference!

Explore alternative ways to donate to our organization, such as through Donor Advised Funds, Employee Matching, IRA, Planned Giving, or Stocks.

Why donate to Colorado Pet Pantry?

  • By distributing pet food to existing family pets, we are taking the preventative approach to reducing pet homelessness.
  • We partner with low-cost spay and neuter organizations to assist families in having their pets fixed.
  • We founded the Animal Welfare Share Program (AWSP) to assist over 100 animal welfare organizations and other human-service nonprofits with pet food and supplies. In an effort to help them focus their precious funds on supporting their mission.

Our Mission And Impact

Mission: The Colorado Pet Pantry will temporarily feed Colorado pets, allowing families to increase their ability to care for pets with the goal of keeping them out of shelters and with their families.

Summer 2026 Impact Report – Where compassion meets sustainability: Our goal is to help pet families in Colorado stay together. At the same time, we are committed to sustainability efforts, diverting millions of pounds of pet food and supplies away from landfills each year, giving new purpose to products that would otherwise go to waste.

Our hearts go out to everyone affected by the recent disaster. In the past weeks, we have been coordinating with emergency response teams in this region to deliver pet food and supplies to places in need. We are so grateful to have food and supplies already in this area, and this gives us a unique ability to assist the community when transportation access has otherwise been cut off.
