Sam's Club Food Drive

Springdale Animal Services and Sam’s Club teamed up for a Summer Pet Food Drive this Saturday, July 24th, from 10 AM to 2 PM, at the Fayetteville location. Volunteers from our pet foster partner, For Pets’ Sake were on scene with adoptable animals, receiving pet food donations. We took in over 600 pounds of pet food and two dogs, George and Ling Ling were placed in loving homes!

We are always in need of dry or canned dog, puppy, cat, and kitten food to help feed our shelter’s animals, and those of our citizen’s with pets in need.Springdale Animal Services provides shelter and care for over 3000 animals each year. We use over 13,000 lbs of dry pet food every year and over 1,300 ounces of cat food monthly throughout the summer months. When donations exceed our needs, any surplus is distributed to citizens’ pets in need. We rely on donations to help provide for the needs of our communities homeless animals. With the continued generosity of donors, we are able to provide quality care for these animals while they are awaiting their new homes.One 50 lb bag of dog food will feed approximately 50 adult, 50 lb dogs for one day. On average, this would care for all the dogs in the shelter for that day. Your donations really do make a more significant impact than you might think. If the pets you’ve saved could tell you the difference you’ve made. Thanks to our volunteers, adoptors, donors, and Sam's Club for making this another successful event.
