AWS has pet food resources for community members as part of our Stay@Home program. We partner with area (human) food pantries and community service organizations, primarily in York County. We provide pet food and supplies to these partner organizations. They in turn then pass them along directly to their pet-owning clients. This program ensures that pet families have access to local resources for their pets, without having to take a special trip over to AWS in West Kennebunk. Therefore, we keep very limited food on site for the public. Anything not needed for our shelter pets is given to our food pantry partners.
If you need pet food resources….
If you would like help getting pet food or supplies for your pets, please know that there is help available, especially for dogs and cats. For fastest results, call your local food pantry, community service organization, general assistance office for more information, including when their food resources are available and if they supply pet food as well.
This map shows area food pantries, many of whom are our partners and should have pet food available. Click on the icons to access the phone number and website of each pantry. Please call them directly.

If you can give pet food resources…
If you are in a position to help provide pet food resources, please consider donating food or supplies. Visit our wish list, and either make your gift online or stop by in-person. Our pet food program is impactful with the generosity of our supporters. All together, we keep our partners’ shelves full of dog food, cat food (wet and dry) and litter.
