Keep Pets Safe, Warm, and Fed This Winter with Puppy Food Bank

When winter weather hits, pets across Texas face more than just chilly nights, they face real danger. Freezing temperatures can quickly become life-threatening for animals left outdoors without proper shelter, food, or warmth. Every year, local rescues and shelters see an increase in emergency intakes of pets suffering from cold exposure, neglect, or abandonment.

At the same time, this season also coincides with puppy and kitten season, which happens twice a year. Shelters are overwhelmed with newborn litters and abandoned animals that require constant care, warmth, and nutrition. With overcrowding at an all-time high and donations often dipping after the holidays, rescues urgently need community support to meet growing demands.

That’s where Puppy Food Bank comes in. Our mission is simple but vital — to ensure no pet goes hungry or cold, no matter the season. But we can’t do it alone.
