Full Bowls, Happy Homes
Tails of Hope is so appreciative of the donations made to the shelter by our compassionate and caring community. When pet food and supplies are donated that we’re unable to use ourselves, we partner with food shelves throughout Rutland County to put those items into the hands of people who need them. When we have extra on hand, we reach out to local food shelves, who come to Tails of Hope to pick it up. If you or someone you know needs pet food, your local food shelf is a great place to start.
