How can you get free pet food?

Pet Pantry Events

In order to help as many pets as possible, the Houston Humane Society partners with local organizations and officials to bring food to the community in Houston at various locations. Please click here to see upcoming dates and locations.

Once you arrive at a Pet Pantry event, please remain in your car and get in line. A staff/volunteer will provide a Registration Form for you to complete. The form will be picked up as you proceed in line and the pet food is given to you. The pre-bagged of dry and/or canned pet food will be placed into the trunk of your car.

Our pet food will be provided on a first come first serve basis, and distributed until supply is depleted. Note: some pet pantry events are busier than others, thus we may run out of food before the stated end time.
