What says Thanksgiving better than turkey and pumpkin? Our dogs and cats love Thanksgiving too! For a $25 donation, you can provide a pet owner in need with a healthy Thanksgiving “meal” for their beloved companion. 

Our local pet food pantries are very busy, and the need is increasing steadily. Pet owners on limited or fixed income, or who are experiencing temporary financial hardship, never want their beloved pets to go without. The benefit to a person’s well-being, provided by the unconditional love from a pet, is vital and immeasurable. You can help us stock our pet food pantries to keep pets happy and healthy.

For example, in today's pet food market $25 will purchase:

For Dogs - 6 Cans Purina Pro Plan Turkey & Vegetable Entrée ($17.00) and a bag Blue Buffalo Health Bars Crunchy Dog Biscuits, Pumpkin & Cinnamon ($8.00)

For Cats - 6 Cans Friskies Turkey Dinner in Gravy ($5.00), Purina Cat Chow Dry with Real Turkey, 6lb bag ($16.00), and a bag of Temptations Tantalizing Turkey Cats Treats ($4.00)

Plymouth Helping Hands for Animals is a registered 501c3, all volunteer, charitable organization. We raise funds to financially assist pet owners who are in need of assistance with the costs of their pet's veterinary medical care, pet food and supplies, and other essential pet-related needs. Geographically we serve the Town of Plymouth and its adjacent, surrounding towns. We serve a unique niche in our community. One of our main goals is help alleviate the financial burden of extraordinary veterinary expenses so that pet owners can keep their animals well and safely at home. We also support pet owners who may be struggling by providing pet food and supplies at our two very busy Pet Food Pantries that we operate in Plymouth: our weekly pet food pantry at American Legion Post 40; and our twice monthly "Pet Snack Shack" pantry at the Plymouth Center for Active Living/Council on Aging. We also provide pet food and supplies to the Plymouth Family Resource Center's Free Family Market. Our organization is out there, 365 days a year, fulfilling our mission, and will always strive to help as many animals as possible. Throughout the year we plan fundraising events and participate in outreach opportunities to spread the word about our work. We rely solely on monetary donations and In-Kind contributions to help the animals in our local area. With your support, we will continue our mission to help those without a voice: the animals. Thank you for your support!!
