Paws of Hope

Providing quality pet food to the pets of owners facing financial hardship.

Nationwide

Make feeding pets of those facing financial hardship one less thing to worry about this holiday season.

Our pets, who are a source of comfort, loyal and who bring us joy are being impacted by the cost of living crisis. Due to owners' financial struggles pets are going hungry but together we can make a difference! We aim to provide high quality and consistent pet food to support pets in need, but we can't do it alone. We need your help to ensure that no pet goes hungry during these challenging times.

By donating just a small amount, you can make a huge impact on the lives of our friends in need. Your contribution will directly provide nutritious food to pets who would otherwise go hungry. By ensuring their basic needs are met, we can help them stay healthy and happy.

More about us

We are dedicated to providing quality pet food for distribution by community organisations to people in the community who are experiencing financial hardship to ensure no pet goes hungry.
