In present times financially things have got far worse not better for many around the globe. In the UK too many families and individuals are having to rely on food banks to feed themselves and their family. Many of these families also have pets who they adore but are having to face the awful decision to give them up purely because they can not afford to feed them.
Action Aid for Animals is very much at helping at a local level and so we decided to launch a pet food bank where local people can donate pet food, that then enables others to keep their pets where they belong, within the family.
This does not just help the animals and families it also takes some strain from local rescues as they are the ones having to deal with the surge of loved pets whose owners through no fault of their own simply can not afford to feed them.
Though very much in its infancy, we are now starting to receive applications and are right now organising the distribution of pet food to those applicants.
We hope that Petfood banks will be available up and down the UK initiated by other charities for there local community
