NO MORE EMPTY BOWLS
Do you love and care for your pet but find it has been tough to afford all of their food? Well, we're here to help! "No More Empty Bowls" is our food pantry initiative to help keep pets and families together, even through tough times. We offer low-income families a small amount of food (for up to two pets per household) as a supplement to what they can provide themselves for their animals.
To benefit from our program, families may apply at our office. We do require proof that all pets joining our program AND in the household be spayed or neutered and have a current rabies vaccination on file. We also require the applicant to provide verified proof of household income and/or to be enrolled in an NC State Aid program such as EBT, Social Security or Disability Income.
PLEASE NOTE THAT OUR FOOD DISTRIBUTION DAY IS HELD ON THE FIRST FRIDAY OF EVERY MONTH.

EMILY'S FUND
Our medical assist program, Emily's Fund, helps pets receive medical care due to minor accidents or sudden illness. Since 2014, the HSAC has worked with partner veterinary clinics and, together, we've made it possible for hundreds of beloved pets to receive essential veterinary aid. The assistance we've provided has proved to be life saving for many and has also encouraged pet owners to pursue proper vet care for their companions well past their association with our program.
Our ability to provide medical care for pets relies on our available funds. Without those necessary funds, we cannot help when needed so please consider making a donation towards Emily's Fund specifically to help us sustain the program. Pet owners are encouraged to contribute any amount they can and pets receiving care must be spayed/neutered and up to date on vaccines. Please contact our office to learn more.

COMMUNITY EDUCATION
Education is a key HSAC effort! We strive to increase public awareness of pet owners' responsibilities through our newsletter, our social media pages, and information booths at public events. Humane Society Educators host programs for schools, churches, Scout troops and other children's groups in an effort to teach young people about responsible pet care and make them aware of pet resources available in our community.
