The Gary Pet Food Pantry opened in February 2018 with one small grant from Red Rover.

Our pantry currently distributes 4,500 pounds of pet food to Lake County, Indiana residents every 2nd Sunday of the month to pre-registered qualified low-income residents each month.  As of December 2022, the Gary Pet Food Pantry has distributed 99,400 pounds of pet food to the community since its inception.

Our pantry is funded by  private donors, grants, and wishlists from @Cuddly

We have been fighting the City of Gary for a safe, secured, fenced green space for pets and people to recreate.  We have never asked the City of Gary for any money to build or maintain the park.  The only thing that we have asked for is the"use of " land. 

 As of October 16th of 2022, the fight has entered its 11th year.   We are committed to this cause until it is done.  

Thanks to a partnership grant with @PetcoLove and the One Million Free Vaccine Campaign. Cause 4Paws Gary has distributed 1,900 free vaccines to dogs and cats in Lake County, Indiana to help prevent the spread of Distemper/parvo in dogs and Panleukopenia in cats.
