Pet Food Pantry

Imagine having to choose between providing for your family or providing for you pet. What if you could make a difference in the lives of families and family pets everywhere?

Pantry Membership

Trying times can be temporary. With a little assistance, a pet owner can often find a way to keep their pet in their home. Because supplies are limited, our pantry supplies should supplement your monthly supply of pet food and not be the sole source of food for pets. You should expect to purchase food for your pets in addition to receiving food to meet their nutritional needs.

If you are in need of help from our pantry, please visit our pantry during our hours of operation: 11-1P every Sunday, except on holidays. Volunteers will be there to assist members. All new and returning members are eligible to receive food once a month, or as directed by pantry volunteers. Our pet pantry is located at the Wild Birds Unlimited Store (28558 Woodward, Royal Oak; south of 12 Mile). Please enter in the rear of the store.

Membership Terms:

• This program is intended to provide temporary, supplemental assistance for up to three (3) months. You may re-apply in three months if your circumstances have not changed and your application will be reviewed.
• Proper identification is required each time food is picked up.
• Supplies are donated to NBAR's Pet Food Pantry by generous individuals and partnerships - we cannot guarantee that food is always available. We do not provide custom orders and/or specific food brand requests.
