Ways to help

Annual PSR Pet Walk Fundraiser

Our Annual PSR Pet Walk Fundraiser is held each year to raise essential funds for the PSR Pet Love Program, which supports the beloved pets of homebound older adults. This fun-filled event brings the community together for a great cause, ensuring that both seniors and their furry companions receive the care they need.

Enjoy a fantastic day with music, local vendors, delicious food, exciting activities, and a group pet trail walk, all while making a meaningful impact. Your support helps provide pet food, supplies, and veterinary care, allowing seniors to keep their cherished pets by their side!

Support Our Pet Food Drives

PSR holds pet food drives four times a year, but is always accepting donations to support the PSR Pet Love Program. Whether through drop-offs or online purchase deliveries, your generosity helps provide essential pet supplies to low-income, homebound older adults receiving PSR Home-Delivered Meal services.

We accept new, unopened, and unexpired pet food, litter, and monetary donations. Preferably, pet food is Purina brand in 13-20 lb. bags, as brand consistency helps maintain a stable diet for the pets. Every contribution makes a difference!
