Part of Baltimore Humane Society’s mission is to end homelessness for pets in our community. We work to help families who are experiencing temporary financial stress provide for their pets while they work to improve their circumstances. We hope that by helping families through these difficult situations, their pets are able to stay in their home, and we can prevent the heartbreaking choice of surrendering them to a shelter.
The Bmore Kind Pet Food Bank operation is sustained by donations of food and supplies from our community. We are unable to take requests for specific brands and cannot guarantee the quantity of food available at any given time.
FOOD BANK DONATIONS
- Donations to the food bank are accepted contact-free during business hours, and may be placed in the donation shed located on the right-hand side of our parking lot. Receipts are available – ring the doorbell for the adoption center and a staff member will be happy to supply one for you.
- All brands of wet and dry cat and dog food are accepted. We do not accept expired food.
