When times are tough, having a pet can become even more difficult. The Hermitage offers pet food and supply assistance for low income families to promote pet retention and keep family pets in their home. Food For People’s Pets Pantry is open the 3rd Thursday of each month from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m. We’ll have food, litter, treats, toys and occasionally beds, collars, and bowls. Use the alley behind the shelter (off Magnolia). Don’t rehome your pet if you don’t really have to.
