Officials with Ranger’s Pantry, the city’s pet food bank, hope to stock the shelves with a ton of pet food during the “Pounds for Paws” food drive. Literally.
The goal is to raise at least 2,000 pounds of pet food by Sept. 28.

Cash donations are also welcome and may be sent to City of Fayetteville Community Services, 113 W. Mountain St., Fayetteville, AR 72701. Checks should be made out to ‘City of Fayetteville’ with ‘Ranger’s Pantry’ in the memo line. One hundred percent of all cash donations are used to purchase pet food for the Pantry.

Ranger’s pantry is a very important program for keeping pets in their homes and out of our shelters. Please help with this food drive if you are able. You can also email our non profit, Friends of the Fayetteville Animal Shelter if you are unable to drop off the food yourself and we will pick up and drop off the food on your behalf. ffashelter@gmail.com
