Our Mission

Established in 2016, we are a midwest pet supply resource that helps fight pet food insecurity across the Lake Michigan states – Illinois, Indiana, Southwest Michigan and Wisconsin – by rescuing surplus goods and distributing them to homeless pets in shelters and to community families in need.

We work hand-in-hand with shelters, rescues, and community partners to ensure homeless pets receive the nourishment they need to thrive while also supporting families facing hardship so they can keep their pets at home, healthy, and loved. By redirecting products that would otherwise go to waste, we reduce environmental impact while creating hope, security, and second chances for thousands of animals each year. With the support of volunteers, donors, and corporate partners, we are building a future where every pet’s bowl and belly are full, and every heart is a little lighter.

Turning Surplus into Support

Every year, thousands of pounds of high-quality pet food and supplies go unused. That’s where we come in. We proudly keep surplus pet food and supplies out of landfills – saving pets, supporting families, and strengthening communities.

Today, we operate out of a 250,000 sq. ft. warehouse in the western suburbs of Chicago. With full trucking logistics capabilities, we collect, sort, and distribute pet food and supplies directly to shelters, rescues, and families in need. With your support, we can do even more to ease shelter strain, cut pet euthanasia rates, and keep more pets at home.

OUR PILLARS

Redirecting surplus goods from disposal to distribution.

Lightening their financial burden so more resources can go toward medical care, adoption efforts, and community outreach.

Providing pet owners facing hardships with the peace of mind that their pets will have a full belly.

Bringing support directly to communities facing weather-related emergencies and disasters through partnerships and local pop-up supply events.
