Need Pet food? Go to randomactsofpetfood

Hi pet owners of Denver! Just wanted to let the dedicated Reddit users who struggle with bills know that there is a sub called โ€œrandom acts of pet foodโ€ that you can request $150 worth of donated pet food off of your curated Amazon wishlist every 6 months if you have over 500 karma comment points.

tโ€™s a great way to keep your pets fed up to $150 dollars every 6 months.

Only caveat is that you are ineligible for your own pets if you volunteer (even for free) with animal rescue groups/shelters or donate any of your personal services to them directly.

Anyway, because I foster dogs (not paid), I am ineligible to participate for my own dogs welfare, but if you do not donate or volunteer with animal shelters or rescues you are eligible to post requests and I hope you do.

Please make a pet food only Amazon wishlist, all other requests will be denied immediately. Requests for treats of supplies is not allowed. Our Colorado Pet Pantry does so much, but can only provide so much.

The only requests Iโ€™ve seen denied are if you volunteer with animal rescues or shelters. Rescue heads also do not qualify for their own personal dogs.

Approved requests are generally funded within a couple days.

Itโ€™s a great resource, so please use it. Not sure why fellow animal helpers canโ€™t use it, but I at least want my fellow struggling Denverites to get help.

Elvira really wants some of my dinner.

I adopted her eight and a half months ago. Sheโ€™s got no shame whatsoever.

Whatโ€™s your night time routine?

Whatโ€™s your miniโ€™s bedtime routine and fave night time sleeping spot?
My girl lately has decided she wants to be tucked in under her cooling blanket, with her unicorn neck pillow, whilst laying on her old lady orthopedic memory foam bed. ๐Ÿฅฐ๐Ÿฅฐ

Roscoe being the happiest boy
