KNOXVILLE, Tenn. — Knox County Mayor Glenn Jacobs visited Young Williams Animal Center on Wednesday to raise awareness for the shelter’s community support programs.
The shelter seeks donations for its Pet Resource Center and pet food pantry to support the high level of requests during the pandemic from pet owners who are struggling financially.
Here’s a snapshot of the shelter’s needs:
- Wet and dry dog food
- Canned cat food (not salmon flavored)
- Unflavored Pedialyte
- Kong toys for dogs
- Baby gates, pack and plays or pop-up playpens
- Dog houses
- Donations for emergency vet care
If you would like to donate food, River Dog Bakery is donating one bag of dog food for every bag purchased from the store and will deliver those to the shelter on your behalf. For more information, visit https://riverdogbakery.com/.
