Petco Stores Begin Collecting Pet Food Donations

San Diego based Petco pet stores are asking customers to donate dog and cat food to pet food banks. Food banks that help people with groceries will now be able to give people who own dogs and cats pet food too.

More than 250 Petco stores throughout the country will have collection bins where people can put in pet food to help keep dogs and cats out of shelters.

With a high jobless rate, some pet owners just manager to feed themselves and their families. They simply don't have the extra money to feed their dogs and cats. As a result many pets are being brought to shelters and must suffer the pain and fear of suddenly being homeless and being separated from the only family they've ever known.

Let's all visit Petco stores and donate pet food so America's pets can stay with their families! The first stores to receive donations will be in San Diego, Orlando, New York City and Chicago. The collection bins will be out this week.
